Psalms 124:4-5. Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Here, in this life, we may have troubles, not only from our own evil hearts, but also from Satan and from the world. Truly, if it had not been for the Lord, the proud waters had gone right over our souls. It is a wonder that we are alive, brethren; we can sing with Watts, -
"Our life contains a thousand strings,
And dies if one be gone
Strange that a harp of thousand strings
Should keep in tune so long!"
But it is a ten thousand times greater miracle that we are spiritually alive when there are so many in this world seeking to destroy us. This is a marvel of marvels; and the whole world itself contains no greater wonders than are to be found in that one little world of Mansoul.
