In the light of God's precious truth, let us remember that men cannot wrong us unless He allows them to do so. But even then, they are culpable before God for what they do. For any man or woman to breach the divine protection of a saint of God and to harm that saint, is to do massive injustice to the man; but it is also to do despite to the God under whose protection he is. Woe is that man who dares to breach God's hedge of protection that He has placed around that saintly man.
Yet, sometimes in our experience, we find that God allows our enemies to come perilously close to us. But they cannot lay a finger upon us without His permission. He has issued a restraining order on them so that it is 'thus far and no further.' The wicked would devour us if they could, but they cannot do so. Even strangers must be made to respect the servants of God, yea, kings. But C. H. Spurgeon is correct: "the greatest kings are very second-rate persons with God in comparison with his chosen servants."
