Isaiah 33:16-17 He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.… In the ascent of a mountain, the objects which we leave beneath us become insignificant as we ascend, until the things we at first passed become as mere specks in the distance, and we get into prate, clear air, and see the extent of land around us, of which we had never dreamed. So in the spiritual life, as we "dwell on high" with the holy God, the things of earth are of less importance to us, even earthly friendships becoming insignificant as we "behold the King in His beauty," and all around us is the "far-stretching land" of His full, unlimited salvation. (J. G. Govan.) Parallel Verses KJV: He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. |
