The flight is the flight of fear,
but the refuge is the refuge of faith.
O sinner, if the righteous fly, what ought your pace to be?
Then understand, in our text there is
eagerness,
the absence of all hesitation,
there is fear,
and yet there is courage;
there is no preparation,
there is the flinging aside every burden.
"The righteous runs into his high tower, and is safe."
Beloved, I will leave that point, when I have just said, please remember that when a man gets into a castle, he is safe because of the impregnability of the castle; he is not safe because of the way in which he entered the castle.
