Lord make this valley full of ditches For thus saith the Lord ye shall not see wind neither shall ye see rain yet that valley shall be filled with water that ye may drink both ye and your cattle and your beasts And ver 20. And it came to pass in the morning when the meat-offring was offered that behold there came water by the way of Edom and the country was filled with water And we may see in the Gospels that our blessed Saviour did often feed many thousands with a few loaves and a little quantity of fish when he saw it needful to work such a miracle for them By these and such Instances we see how God hath in an extraordinary manner relieved his People and Servants in their great necessities and supplyed them with food and such things as they stood in great need of 2 We may see also that Almighty God hath often delivered his People and Servants in an extraordinary and miraculous manner from great and eminent Dangers and from such Judgments and Calamities as have befallen others God preserved Noah from that prodigious Flood that swept away the Inhabitants of the old World in his time and drowned all Mankind beside him and his Family Gen. 7.1 He protected Abraham in all his travels and delivered him from all his fears He preserved him from being hurt by the Egytians Gen. 12 And from the hands of the four Kings that took Lot captive against whom he warred Gen. 14 And out of all other straits that he came into did he deliver him He preserved Lot from that dreadful judgment of fire that destroyed the Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah c. Gen. 19. He kept Jacob from being hurt by his Brother Esau when he came out with an Host of 400 men against him and turned his heart so that he did him no harm but embraced him in love Gen. 33.4 He protected Moses from being hurt by Pharaoh King of Egypt when he came to deliver the Israelites out of his hand and armed him with such power of doing wonders that he made him like a God to Pharaoh as he saith Exod. 7.1 And he preserved him all along afterwards in all those dangers that he underwent and from the hands of those Kings with whom he warred over whom he gave him victory And preserved his People Israel from all the dangers that they met with He protected Joshua and his People afterwards from all the Kings of Canaan and gave him victory over them and their Armies as we may see in the book of Joshua The Lord preserved David from all the attempts of King Saul to take away his life and at the last set him upon the Throne of Israel And hereby we may see how vain a thing it is to seek to take away his life whom the God of Heaven will preserve and how those that set upon such enterprizes like Saul and Pharaoh do most miserably fret and gall themselves and that disappointment and grief are the fruits of such sinful attempts In a miraculous manner did the Lord deliver the Prophet Elijah from the two Captains and their men that were sent from the King of Israel to take him and sent down fire from Heaven to consume them 2 Kings 1.9 And from Jezebel and all dangers else did God deliver him The Lord delivered the Prophet Elisha from the Bands of the Syrians and garded him with Horses and Chariots of fire 2 Kings 6.15 And from the King of Israel when he sent to take away his head and from all dangers else did God deliver him The Lord in a remarkable manner delivered Samaria and the Israelites from the Host of Syria 2 Kings 7.6 and frighted the whole Host away and made them to overrun their Tents and Horses through fear The Lord preserved and delivered King Hezekiah and Jerusalem in a miraculous manner from Sennacherib the King of Assyria and sent his Angel to destroy his whole Army 2 Kings 19.35 And it came to pass that night that the Angel of the Lord went out and smote in the Camp of the Assyrians an hundred and fourscore and five thousand and when they arose early in the morning behold they were all dead corpses In a wonderful manner were the three Children preserved and kept from harm even in the midst of the fiery Furnace by the Omnipotent power of God Dan. 3.26 Then Shadrach Meshach and Abednego came forth of the midst of the fire And the Princes Governors and Captains and the King's Counsellors being gathered together saw these men upon whose bodies the fire had no power nor was an hair of their head singed neither were their coats changed nor the smell of fire had passed on them In this extreme danger and hopeless condition to all humane appearance were they thus miraculously delivered and had not the least degree of harm The Prophet Daniel was protected and defended by an Angel in the Lyon's den from being torn in pieces or hurt by them Dan. 6.21 Then said Daniel unto the King O King live for ever My God hath sent his Angel and hath shut the lyons mouthes that they have not hurt me for as much as before him innocency was found in me and also before thee O King have I done no hurt The Lord by an Angel delivered St. Peter out of prison and out of the hands of Herod who was minded to put him to death Acts 12.7 And behold the Angel of the Lord came upon him saith St. Luke and a light shined in the prison and he smote Peter on the side and raised him up saying Arise up quickly And his chains fell off from his hands And the Angel said unto him gird thy self and bind on thy sandals And so he did And he saith unto him cast thy garments about thee and follow me And he went out and followed him By these and such like examples we may see That God hath delivered and protected his People and Servants from very great and eminent dangers in a wonderful and miraculous manner when they have had no power and might to help and defend themselves And from hence we may be the more encouraged to put our trust and confidence in him and hope that he will have pity and mercy upon us and send us help and relief in all our straits and needs and helpless conditions if we have recourse to him and depend upon him for help and protection and relief at all times as we ought We have all the assurance that well can be that God will no ways fail us in the day of trouble And we have as great encouragement as we can well desire to trust in the Lord Jehovah at all times of the greatest Dangers And if we can but believe his sacred and sure Word and rely upon his faithful Promises we need not much to fear in the darkest and blackest Times that can come upon us such as this is like to be If we are not wanting to our selves but will repent
