• The love to the law (and here this is the egression {emergence} of God's will) grows with the growth of the power of evil. We feel more how precious it is, how sure it is, how it comes from God; and what makes His intervention precious as against the power of evil, makes His word precious against the development of evil itself.

• The knowledge that God is about to act in judgment only makes the true soul increasingly value God’s Word. Its value is esteemed far above the gold that man values so highly. (“Psalm 119:121-128: Division 16 (Am)” by H. Smith)
