Psalm 129:4 The LORD is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked. "The other day," says the Rev. F. B. Meyer, "I had to address some two thousand children, and, fearing that I might fail to secure their attention, I called a lad of twelve into my pulpit, and proceeded to wind around him a long knotted entanglement, first cotton, then string, next twine, next small cord, afterwards rope, ending with a chain and padlock. Of course he could break the cotton, but this led swiftly to the string, and this to a stronger, and so on, till at last the clasp of the padlock made him fast, my prisoner, 'bound by the cords of his habits.' And I think those boys and girls will never forget the lesson of the inevitable connection between thoughts — acts — habits — character — destiny."
