Dr. W. M. Taylor in his book, ‘David, King of Israel,’ says:
"Traveling once on a train, among my
fellow passengers was a little child who made merry & was at home with
everybody. Had anyone looked at her while she was amusing thus, he would not
have been able to tell to whom she belonged - she seemed to be the property of
everyone.
But soon the engine gave a loud noise as we
plunged into a dark tunnel & in a moment the child flew like a bird to
comfort herself in a lady's lap. I knew then who was her mother.
So in the day of prosperity the good man
may go hither & thither & there may not be very much to tell whose he
is; but let him be sent through some dark tunnel of affliction & you will
see at once to whom he belongs."

“Where do you run for help? When you are in
trouble, what is your first instinct? Do you run to others or to God? Is it
usually the counsel of another rather than the counsel found in waiting upon
God in prayer? Why is this the way it is? Why do we run to man before we run to
God?” - Kay Arthur.
Ps 91:1-2 (ICB): Those who go to God Most
High for safety will be protected by God All-Powerful. I will say to the Lord,
“You are my place of safety and protection. You are my God, and I trust you.”
