The Triumphant Believer

"What Much-Afraid was shouting up there on the old sea wall was this:
  'And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about; therefore
I will sing praises unto the Lord; yea I will offer the sacrifice of joy and will praise
the Name of the Lord' (Psalm 27:6).
  "As she sang she thought to herself, 'It must be really dreadful to be the Shepherd's
enemies.  Always, always to find themselves frustrated.  Always, always to have
their prey snatched away.  How simply maddening it must be to see even the silliest
little weaklings set up out of reach on the High Places and made to triumph over
all their enemies.  It must be unbearable.'" ~from "Hind's Feet on High Places" by Hannah Hurnard
