“The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.” — Proverbs 30:26
Conscious of their own natural defenselessness, 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. 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.
