“The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses
       in the rocks.” 
              — Proverb 30:26 <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Conscious of their own natural defencelessness, the conies resort to
burrows in the rocks, and are secure from their enemies. My heart, be
willing to gather a lesson from these feeble folk. Thou art as weak and
as exposed to peril as the timid cony, be as wise to seek a shelter. My
best security is within the munitions of an immutable Jehovah, where
his unalterable promises stand like giant walls of rock. It will be
well with thee, my heart, if thou canst always hide thyself in the
bulwarks of his glorious attributes, all of which are guarantees of
safety for those who put their trust in him. Blessed be the name of the
Lord, I have so done, and have found myself like David in Adullam, safe
from the cruelty of my enemy; I have not now to find out the
blessedness of the man who puts his trust in the Lord, for long ago,
when Satan and my sins pursued me, I fled to the cleft of the rock
Christ Jesus, and in his riven side I found a delightful resting-place.
My heart, run to him anew to-night, whatever thy present grief may be;
Jesus feels for thee; Jesus consoles thee; Jesus will help thee. No
monarch in his impregnable fortress is more secure than the cony in his
rocky burrow. The master of ten thousand chariots is not one whit
better protected than the little dweller in the mountain’s cleft. In
Jesus the weak are strong, and the defenceless safe; they could not be
more strong if they were giants, or more safe if they were in heaven.
Faith gives to men on earth the protection of the God of heaven.<\/strong><\/u> More
they cannot need, and need not wish. The conies cannot build a castle,
but they avail themselves of what is there already: I cannot make
myself a refuge, but Jesus has provided it, his Father has given it,
his Spirit has revealed it, and lo, again to-night I enter it, and am
safe from every foe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
