(29) For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. (30) For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
It is delightful to make improvement of JESUS upon all occasions, as the soul wants him. Amos I in distress, he will be my Comforter. Amos I in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me. Amos I shut up and cannot get out; by JESUS's arm I shall leap over the wall. Reader! depend upon it, that it is the great secret of religion to know how to use the LORD JESUS for all things, and to consider our wants, be they what they may, as only affording the better opportunity for the communication of his fulness.
