Psalms 138:6. Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly:
That is a sweet text. One who was a scoffer met a humble child of God one morning, and he said to him, "Tell me, is your God a great God or a little God," and the poor man said, "Sir, he is both, for, though he is so great that the heaven of heavens cannot contain him, yet he makes himself so little that he condescends to dwell in my poor heart." Ah, it was sweetly said. He who fills the heavens, nay all things, will be our abiding guest and friend if we will but welcome him.
Psalms 138:6. But the proud he knoweth afar off.
He has enough of them. He does not want them to come near to him. When they are miles away he knows all about them. They make a fair show, but he sees that it is all a fable and pretence. He knows them - afar off!
