Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 119:153

Consider mine affliction, and deliver me. God looks upon or considers man in various ways, and for different ends. To give him light; for "as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth" (John 9:1). To convert him; "He saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me" (Matthew 9:9). To restore him; "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter" (Luke 22:61). To deliver him; "I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt" (Exodus 3:7). To advance him; "He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden" (Luke 1:48): and to reward him; "The Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering" (Genesis 4:4).
