<p>This implies DANGER. The Christian may be in danger from sin, self, or foes. <br />
          <br />
          This implies FEAR—his fears may be groundless—but they are often very painful. <br />
          <br />
          This implies INABILITY—to defend himself or overcome his opposer.<br />
          <br />
          This implies FORESIGHT—he sees the storm in the distance, and looks out for the covert. <br />
          <br />
          This implies PRUDENCE—he hides before the storm, before the enemy comes upon him.<br />
          <br />
          This implies a laudable CONCERN for safety and comfort. The believer, if wise, will at all times flee to Jehovah. <br />
          <br />
          Jacob flies to Laban; <br />
          the man-slayer flies to the refuge; <br />
          the bird to his mountain; and <br />
          the Christian flies to his God.<br />
          He flees . . .<br />
          from sin,<br />
          from self,<br />
          from the world; <br />
          —to Jesus!<br />
          <br />
          The Lord receives, befriends, and secures him. Let us flee to Him by prayer, in faith, with hope, for salvation; and He will receive us, shelter us, and be our refuge and strength. <br />
          <br />
          His <em>heart </em>is ever toward us, <br />
          His <em>ear </em>is open to us, and <br />
          His hand is ready to help, protect, and deliver us. <br />
          <br />
          His <em>throne </em>is our asylum, <br />
          His <em>promise </em>is our comfort, and <br />
          His <em>omnipotence </em>is our guard.
