"So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and
His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in
like a flood, the spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
(Isaiah 59:19)
we drown because we forget who is standing with us"

Have you ever felt that the whole world was against you? I have!
How often when one problem comes along, a dozen other problems
seem to mount up at the same time. The enemy has come in like a flood.
Perhaps a loved one becomes ill and you, too, are lost in the corridor
of loneliness in some hospital. You don't know which way to turn.
A child or a relative dies in a tragic accident. Your bills mount up
and there is no money. Even as I write this commentary, the enemy
has come in like a flood. How easy it would be for me
to be discouraged and overwhelmed.
The task of publishing a 2000 page Commentary Bible is so great and
my resources so few. But each of us, you and I, must rest on the promises
of God. To rest, means to be completely at peace with full assurance...
full assurance that when the enemy does come in like a flood, praise
God, our Lord will raise up His standard to protect and guide us
and supply our every need!"
