"A dear friend of mine, who was quite a lover of the
chase, told me the following story: 'Rising early one
morning,' he said, 'I heard the baying of a score of
deerhounds in pursuit of their quarry. Looking away to a
broad, open field in front of me, I saw a young fawn
making its way across, and giving signs, moreover, that
its race was well-nigh run. Reaching the rails of the
enclosure, it leaped over and crouched within ten feet
from where I stood. A moment later two of the hounds
came over, when the fawn ran in my direction and pushed
its head between my legs. I lifted the little thing to
my breast, and, swinging round and round, fought off the
dogs. I felt, just then, that all the dogs in the West
could not, and should not capture that fawn after its
weakness had appealed to my strength.' So is it, when
human helplessness appeals to Almighty God. Well do I
remember when the hounds of sin were after my soul,
until, at last, I ran into the arms of Almighty God." --
A. C. DIXON. (As quoted in E.M. Bounds, The Necessity
of Prayer)
The words of the Psalmist David from the 27th
Psalm:
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I
fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom
shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies
and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they
stumbled and fell. Though a host should encamp against
me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise
against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have
I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I
may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my
life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire
in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide
me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tabernacle
shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.”
Psalm 27:1-5
