The City of Waters Taken by Satan
Luke 7:44
And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, See you this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet…


If, in case what hath been said of the good which our tears procure for us prevail not, then give me leave to add a word of the great danger which follows upon the neglect of them, and it shall be only by way of allusion to that we read (2 Samuel 12:27). Joab having taken the city of waters, he sent to David and willed him to come quickly to take the city itself, well knowing that it could not hold out, the city of waters being cut off before. Thus when Satan hath taken the eyes and cut off the pipes, can you think your soul can long hold out against his temptations?

(N. Rogers.)
