Following in the Feet of David

0

In considering the whole course of David's life it seems to me that at his every step he showed me the way. This was for me a marvelous solace. For although with continual wars this holy king was troubled by the philistines and other foreign nations, his enemies, still more grievously was he stricken in the midst of his own people by the ill will of certain disloyal, vicious men. I can say similarly of myself: On all sides have I been assailed, scarcely even for a moment experiencing repose; always the brunt of some attack either from without or from within. Satan has often tried by his plots to overthrow the whole structure of this church.
—John Calvin "The Piety of John Calvin"
