Context Summary

Psalms 31:14-24 - Jehovah Preserveth The Faithful

What a change ensues in the spirit of our life when we look from men and things to God! Do not look at God through circumstances, but at circumstances through God's environing presence, as through a golden haze. Our Lord's times were in the hands of the Father, and He would not move an inch until the clock had struck in heaven, John 2:4; John 7:6; John 7:8; John 7:30; John 8:20.

As God hath laid up coal and ore in the earth; and as explorers in Arctic regions deposit provisions in cairns, that those who follow in their steps, or they themselves returning, may be supplied on their march, so unsearchable riches are stored in Christ awaiting our appropriation, 2 Peter 1:3.

What a hiding-place is the secret of His presence! Have you ever been inside that royal withdrawing-room? God's pavilion is sound-tight; the strife of tongues cannot penetrate. [source]
