"For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust." Yes, God knows who we are. He remembers what He made us out of, our frailness. "Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him." How pitiful are we? This is our nature. Fear Him, and His grace will be strong in us. Humble is our estate, but not our heart. He remembers who we are. We forget, and few have ever come to some kind of understanding of ourselves, for we neglect/refuse to fear God. "Lord I surrender!" is the cry of many, but beneath the cry is contentedness, though often painful, with an imagination of personal strenth and orderliness. "He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him." Return unto the Lord thy God, O man; fear Him and prostrate yourself before Him, being expendable.
