to him for succour and help He that is the Father of mercies will not then stop his ears at their cry but will then hear and help them and shew them mercy and kindness By these and such places we see that he is full of pity and compassion and takes no delight to see his People miserable but does greatly commiserate them in their distress and sorrow and is forward to help them and this will give us greater encouragement to trust and rely upon him as the Rock of our Salvation Fifthly For our greater assurance we may see that he is not only a God of love and goodnes but that he doth undertake our protection and is engaged by promise to succor and help us in all our troubles and distressed conditions if we serve him and obey him as we ought and therefore we have the greatest reason of all to trust and confide in him at all times He is a God of truth and faithful in all his promises and he hath promised that he will always watch over us and take great care to preserve and keep us and therefore we have no reason to doubt of his protection and help if we faithfully serve him as we should This Balaam declared that God was true and faithfull and would make good what he had promised Num. 23.19 God saith he is not a man that he should ly neither the son of man that he should repent hath he said and shall he not do it or hath he spoken and shall he not make it good And St. Paul declareth the same to Titus Tit. 1.2 In hope of eternal life which God that cannot ly promised before the world began And saith Moses Deut. 7.9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God he is God the faithful God which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations He is a God of veracity and truth and will not fail to make good his promises And he hath promised that he will never fail nor forsake all such as fear him and keep his sacred Commandments This Moses told the Children of Israel when they were to encounter and engage with their enemies Deut. 31.6 Be strong and of a good courage saith he fear not nor be afraid of them for the Lord thy God he it is that doth go with thee he will not fail thee nor forsake thee And saith the Apostle Heb. 13.5 For he hath said I will never leave thee nor forsake thee And this is God's command that we should call upon him in the time of trouble and he doth promise that he will then deliver us Psal 50.15 And call upon me in the day of trouble I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me And God doth give his People great assurance of his Help and Protection in all times of need and danger by the Prophet Isaiah Is 43.2 saith he When thou passest thorow the waters I will be with thee and thorow the rivers they shall not overflow thee when thou walkest thorow the fire thou shalt not be burnt neither shall the flame kindle upon thee For I am the Lord thy God the holy One of Israel This great and gracious promise doth God make to his People of being their mighty Protector and Saviour in all great and eminent dangers And saith he again by the Prophet Is 54.16 Behold I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work and I have created the waster to destroy No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn Both the weapons of War and the waster that destroys are at God's command and shall not prevail farther than he gives them leave And he doth promise that they shall not prosper so far as to destroy his Church and Servants though he may sometimes let wicked men put some of his Servants to death for a testimony of the Truth with whom he will then be in an extraordinary manner by his Grace and Spirit that they shall in a manner even then triumph over them And saith our Saviour Matt. 28.20 And lo I am with you alway even unto the end of the world Amen And we may be sure that he will be with us according to our needs and in an extraordinary manner when there is extraordinary occasion for it By these and such places we see that God doth undertake our protection and doth promise to help and defend us in all our straits and dangers And a watchful care hath he over us at all times as we have seen before 2 Chr. 16.9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro thorow out the whole earth saith Hanani the Seer to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him And saith the Psalmist Psal 121.3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved he that keepeth thee will not slumber Behold he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep The Lord is thy keeper the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand He continually watches over such as fear him and is never unmindful and regardless of them And how exceedingly his mind is bent towards them and how much his heart is set upon them he sheweth by the Prophet Isaiah 49.15 Can a woman forget her sucking child saith he that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb Yea they may forget yet will I not forget thee So mindful and careful will he be of all his faithful Servants And his Angels shall watch about such as the Psalmist affirmeth Psal 34.7 The Angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him and delivereth them With such a watchful Gard are they always encompassed and protected And to shew the exquisite care of God concerning all things and even the smallest matters that belong to us our Saviour hath told us that the very hairs of our heads are numbered Matt. 10.30 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered Fear ye not therefore A due regard is had even to the smallest matters that belong to us And the Apostle doth shew that nothing can separate us from the love of God if we do it not by our own wickedness Rom. 8.38 For I am persuaded saith he that neither death nor life nor Angels nor Principalities nor Powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. We are assured of God's truth and faithfulness and we see that he hath engaged and promised to be our Protector and Helper in all our necessities and dangers and that he doth continually watch over us and mind us and therefore there is no reason to doubt of his Almighty aid and help in all our needs and dangers whatsoever if we are careful to
