In great mercy God executes, within the soul, His judgments upon sin, as he makes it feel it's wickedness and guilt. Many try to run from these judgments. The soul that longs for God, and for deliverance from sin, bows under them in humility and in hope. In silence of soul it says: "Arise, O Lord! and let your enemies be scattered. In the way of your judgments we have waited for thee." - Andrew Murray
