4Then his victory, and triumph over all, verse 23. Nevertheless I am continually with thee. 2It was a suggestion of the flesh that thou wast gone far from me: by reason of the condition of carnal men that flourish in the eye of the world. No; Thou art continually with me, and thou holdest me by my right hand; thou upholdest me I should fall else. But what ⟨p. 131⟩would God do so for the time to come? he will guide me by his counsel, while I live here, and when I am dead, what will he do for me after? he will receive me to glory: whereupon saith he, who have I in heaven but thee? and there is none in earth that I desire besides thee. Therefore, though for the present my flesh fail; yea and my heart fail; yet God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. We see here his victory set down, and he gives a lustre to it, by Gods contrary dealing with the wicked: for lo, they that are far from thee, shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go awhoring from thee. Now in the words of the text, you have his Conclusion upon all this, nevertheless, it is good for me to draw near to God.
