““In the same way, there is also a period in the spiritual life, when sin works to drag the sinner back to the life from which it has recently escaped. Like armies ready for battle, all the sinner’s past iniquities hurry after him and overtake him in a place where there is no escape. The poor fugitive wants to escape, but he cannot. What must he do? Remember, that is when Moses cried to the Lord. When nothing else could be found to provide protection to the unhappy slaves, when the Red Sea was in front of them, and the mountains shut them in on either side, and an angry enemy pursued them, there was one road that was not blocked. It was the King’s highway leading up to the throne; it was the way to their God. They began to travel that road immediately, lifting up their hearts in humble prayer to God, trusting that he would deliver them.””
