Safety in the Scriptures
Luke 4:4
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.


We are penned up into the Scriptures as into our sheepfolds, while we contain ourselves within them there we are safe; the wolf may howl, but he cannot bite us. There we are in the tower of David, where we cannot be assaulted; but as David acknowledgeth: "If my delight had not been in Thy law, I should utterly have perished in my trouble."

(Bishop Hacket.)
