will stand good against him seeing all the wisdom of others is but folly with him and he taketh the wise in their own craftiness and confoundeth the counsels and policy of the Subtle and returneth them upon themselves at his own pleasure This will be a farther ground of our trust and confidence that we are to repose and put in him In trusting in him we trust not in a foolish and unadvised Person that undertakes such a Charge that he does not well understand and is not wise enough to manage and protect But in trusting in the Lord Jehovah we trust in a God that is infinitely wise in all respects and knows how to manage all the Charges and Cares of an universal Patron and Protector and is such a God for wisdom to whom we may well commit the care of our Souls and Lives and all that is pretious and dear to us Thirdly He is a God that is Omnipotent and Almighty and can do every thing and therefore we have the greater reason to trust and confide in him He is no weak and and impotent creature but a God that is armed with all the Might and Power that can be and therefore we may well account him the Rock of our Salvation I am the Almighty God saith he to Abraham Gen. 17.1 walk before me and be thou perfect And in these two respects especially may God be said to be Almighty 1 Because all Rule and all Dominion and Power of Governing all things doth in a most absolute manner belong to him He is the great and only Monarch of all the World and all the Armies and Hosts of Heaven and Earth are under his Authority and Power and at his absolute command He is the Supreme Lord of all and all the Angels above and the Powers of Darkness and all Earthly Kings and Princes are but his Ministers and Servants and must all observe his Orders and obey his word and command For the Lord your God saith Moses Deut. 10.17 is God of Gods and Lord of Lords a great God a mighty and a terrible which regardeth not persons nor taketh reward And saith St. Paul 1 Tim. 6.15 Who is the blessed and only Potentate the King of Kings and Lord of Lords He is the Supreme King over all the Kings and Emperors of the Earth and as he sees fit he exerciseth his Authority and Power in all the Kingdoms of the Earth and placeth and displaceth all Kings and Princes as he sees good This the Prophet Daniel sheweth Dan. 4.17 To the intent saith he that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the Kingdom of men and giveth it to whomsoever he will and setteth up over it the basest of men And ver 25 saith he to Nebuchadnezzar They shall drive thee from men and thy Dwelling shall be with the Beasts of the Field till thou know that the most High ruleth in the Kingdom of men and giveth it to whomsoever he will And saith he Dan. 2.20 Blessed be the Name of God for ever and ever for wisdom and might are his And he changeth the times and the Seasons he removeth Kings and he setteth up Kings And so saith the Psalmist Ps 75.6 For promotion cometh neither from the East nor from the West nor from the South But G d is the Judge he putteth down one and setteth up another He disposeth of the Kingdoms of the World and ordereth whom he pleaseth to rule therein and there is no man can have any Power therein except it be given or some ways granted and allowed him from above as our blessed Lord told Pilate Joh. 19.11 Jesus answered Thou couldest have no power at all against me except it were given thee from above No Man can have any Authority except it be some way allowed him by Almighty God who is the Supreme King and Disposer of all Power and Authority And he is an everlasting King and his Dominion is without end and endureth to all Eternity Jer. 10.10 saith the Prophet there But the Lord is the true God he is the living God and an everlasting King at his wrath the earth shall tremble and the Nations shall not be able to abide his indignation And saith the Psalmist Psal 145.13 Thy Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and thy Dominion endureth throughout all generations There is no end of his Kingdom and his supreme Power endureth for ever 2 God is Almighty in regard of his infinite Power whereby he is able to effect and bring all things to pass He is Almighty in Operation and there is nothing too hard for him which he cannot do and therefore he may be said to be Omnipotent He hath all power of doing whatsoever he pleaseth and all the Power and Strength that is in all Creatures is derived from him and hath continual dependance upon him and in this respect he may well be said to be Almighty It is in him that we all live and move and have our being as the Apostle affirmeth Acts 17.28 And there is no resisting and withstanding of his Power and nothing can hinder him from doing any thing that he pleaseth to do For the Lord of Hosts hath purposed saith the Prophet Isaiah 14.27 and who shall disanul it and his hand is stretched out and who shall turn it back And saith God by him Is 43.13 Before the day was I am he and there is none that can deliver out of mine hand I will work and who shall let it There is no resisting and withstanding of him but all must truckle and give way to his Omnipotent Power And saith God to Abraham Gen. 18.14 Is any thing too hard for the Lord hereby declaring that all things are possible and feasible to him And this doth Job acknowledg Job 42 2 I know that thou canst do every thing and that no thought can be withholden from thee And saith the Prophet Jeremiah 32.17 Ah Lord God behold thou hast made the Heaven and the Earth by thy great Power and stretched out Arm and there is nothing too hard for thee And the Angel declared this to the blessed Virgin Luc. 1.37 For with God nothing shall be unpossible saith he And this our Lord sheweth Matth. 19.26 But Jesus beheld them and said unto them with men this is unpossible but with God all things are possible He can turn and change every thing at his own will and pleasure He can create and form things that are not out of nothing and annihilate those that be and let them return to nothing again All things that thwart not his justice goodness and truth he can do And his power is an eternal power and will never fail nor decay He is an everliving God and his Arm and Power will never be shortened nor diminished Rom. 1.20 saith St. Paul For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal Power and Godhead But we shall the better
enter into the Kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished at his words But Jesus answereth again and saith unto them children how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go thorow the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God By trusting in these men are like to block up the path of Life against themselves We are strictly forbid we see to trust in riches or in any worldly wealth and earthly treasure And we are also forbid to trust in an Arm of Flesh or to rely upon any humane Power We are not to place our Trust and Confidence in any Kings and Princes and great Men of the earth nor in any Armies and Naval Forces and Warlike Preparations The doing of this is sinful and evil and these will prove but weak and helpless Deities to such as rely upon them Psal 146.3 saith the Psalmist there Put not your trust in princes nor in the the son of man in whom there is no help His breath goeth forth he returneth to his earth in that very day his thoughts perish These are of a mortal and perishing nature themselves and cannot preserve themselves and much less then are they able to help and save others that rely upon them And a wo is denounced against such as trust in the help of man Is 30.1 Wo to the rebellious children saith the Lord that take counsel but not of me and that cover with a covering but not of my Spirit that they may add sin to sin That walk to go down into Egypt and have not asked at my mouth to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh and to trust in the shadow of Egypt And we may see in the verses following what help and comfort they were like to find in so doing ver 3. Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame saith God by the Prophet and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion And ver 5 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them nor be an help nor profit but a shame and also a reproach Here we see how we are like to speed if we trust in an Arm of Flesh and place our confidence in humane Power we must then expect nothing but shame and reproach and confusion And to this purpose Is 31.1 Wo to them that go down to Egypt for help and stay on horses and trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong But they look not unto the holy One of Israel neither seek the Lord. And what the issue of such trust and confidence is like to be we may also see here ver 3 Now the Egyptians are men and not God and their horses flesh and not spirit when the Lord shall stretch out his hand both he that helpeth shall fall and he that it holpen shall fall down and they shall fail together Such disappointment must men expect from their vain confidence in all humane Force and Power And such as trust in an Arm of Flesh are cursed as God declareth by the Prophet Jeremiah 17.5 Thus saith the Lord cursed be the man that trusteth in man and maketh Flesh his Arm and whose heart departeth from the Lord. For he shall be like the heath in the desert and shall not see when good cometh but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness in a salt land and not inhabited Such as forsake God and trust not in his Help but place their hopes and confidence in humane Power must expect no good but sorrow and misery to attend them in so doing Nor are we to place our confidence in our wit and knowledg and strength of body c and to idolize them as the Prophet sheweth Ier. 9.23 Thus saith the Lord Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom neither let the mighty man glory in his might let not the rich man glory in his riches But let him that glorieth glory in this that he understandeth and knoweth me that I am the Lord We are not to trust in these nor in any other Idol that we may make to our selves but in the Lord Jehovah the living and true God For to trust in any thing else shews disrespect and infidelity towards him and is a derogation from his infinite Power and Goodness and is sinful and evil and in so doing we shall be miserably deluded and may expect to have our hopes and confidence frustrated and disappointed And such as shall now in this dark Time which is coming upon us betake themselves to Arms on the one hand or fall to Popery on the other hand to secure themselves I fear that such will be in great danger of perishing and losing their Lives But I hope that all those that put their trust in Almighty God and with faith and patience wait for his blessed Help and Protection will be preserved alive notwithstanding their hazard and danger is like to be very great And the more to prevail with us to do so Secondly We may see that we are often exhorted and enjoined in the sacred Scriptures to put our Trust and Confidence in Almighty God at all times and upon all accounts especially when we have the most need of Relief and Protection and that it is our duty to do so The sacred Scriptures do frequently exhort us to trust in and rely upon him and to cast all our care upon him and not to doubt of his help and assistance when we shall stand in great need of it Psal 62.7 8. saith the Psalmist In God is my Salvation and my glory the Rock of my strength and my refuge is in God Trust in him at all times ye people pour out your heart before him God is a refuge for us And Psal 115.9 O Israel trust thou in the Lord he is their help and their shield O house of Aaron trust in the Lord he is their help and their shield Ye that fear the Lord trust in the Lord he is their help and their shield And in many other places in the Psalms are we exhorted to this And this is Solomon's exhortation Prov. 3.5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding And saith the Prophet Is 50 10 Who is among you that feareth the Lord that obeyeth the voice of his servant that walketh in darkness and hath no light Let him trust in the Name of the Lord and stay upon his God In all sad and comfortless conditions are his Servants to have recourse to him and there to rest themselves secure And this we are also exhorted to and enjoined by the Gospel to cast all our care upon Almighty God and to trust securely in him 2 Cor. 1.9 But we had the sentence of death in our selves saith the Apostle that we should not trust in our selves but in God which raiseth the dead And saith
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
in his almighty Power and Divine Protection went against all the Kings of Canaan and did not fear to encounter and set upon them when they were many of them confederated together and had united their Forces as we may see Joshua 10 Job expresseth very great trust and confidence in almighty God Job 13.14 Wherefore saith he do I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in mine hand Tho' he slay me yet will I put my trust in him He was resolved still to trust in God and to wait for his salvation notwithstanding he was in such a miserable condition that he seemed almost to be deserted and forsaken of him David also sheweth what great faith and confidence he put in Almighty God When his own Companions were ready to stone him he strengthened himself herewith 1 Sam. 30.6 And David was greatly distressed for the People spake of stoning him because the soul of all the people was grieved every man for his Sons and for his Daughters but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God And often in the Psalms doth he declare his great confidence in Almighty God And saith the Psalmist Is 46.1 God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble Therefore will not we fear tho' the Earth be moved and tho' the Mountains be carried into the midst of the Sea Tho' the Waters thereof roar and be troubled tho' the Mountains shake with the swellings thereof And Ps 118.6 The Lord is on my side I will not fear What can man do unto me And saith the Prophet Isaiah expressing his own confidence in God as he was taught and teaching the People also to do the like Is 12.2 Behold God is my salvation I will trust and not be afraid for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my Song he also is become my salvation The Prophet Habakkuk also is very full to this purpose declaring how he would put his whole trust and confidence in the Lord and joy and rejoyce in him when all earthly comforts and supports were vanished and taken away Hab. 3.17 18. Altho' saith he The Figtree shall not blossom neither shall fruit be in the Vines the labor of the Olive shall fail and the field shall yield no meat the flock shall be cut off from the fold and there shall be no herd in the stalls Yet I will rejoyce in the Lord I will joy in the God of my salvation The totally taking away of all these should not make him to despair but he would still trust in the Living God and expect succour and comfort from him So great was the faith of the three Children that they bid defiance to Nebuchadnezzar the great Babylonian Monarch and all that he could do and slighted all his great Threats of a Fiery Furnace assuring themselves that the God of Heaven in whom they trusted could deliver them even out of the very jaws of Death and out of the Pit of destruction Dan. 3.16 O Nebuchadnezzar say they we are not carefull to answer thee in this matter If it be so that is that thou cast us into the fiery furnace Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace and he will deliver us out of thine hand O King But if not be it known unto thee O King that we will not serve thy Gods nor worship thy golden Image which thou hast set up So little did they regard all his terrible and frightfull Threats And with trust and confidence in Almighty God did the Apostles encounter all the Powers and Oppositions and Dangers and Necessities that they met with By these and such examples we may see that this hath been the Resolution and Practice of all pious and religious men to put their trust in Almighty God at all times of great Danger and Need and to rely upon him for this blessed Help and Assistance And this shews that it is our duty to do so and is an encouragement to us to rely upon him for his never-failing Help and Succour when we have no means of helping our selves but are in a most helpless condition as now we are like to be in II. We have here the reason wherewith this exhortation and precept is backed and why we should trust in the Lord for ever and that is because of his sure and certain Help and Assistance at all times For in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength or the Rock of Ages This is an usual thing in the Word of God to call Almighty God a Rock because he is a most sure and firm Refuge to all such as fly to him for succour and help upon all accounts Moses doth often call him a Rock Deut. 32.15 But Jesurun waxed fat then he forsook God which made him and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation And vers 31. For their Rock is not as our Rock even our enemies themselves being judges Hereby meaning that their God and Protector was not like the God that protected and defended the Jews even in the judgment of their Enemies And in several other places in the sacred Scriptures is Almighty God called a Rock And by God's being called the Rock of Ages here we are to know that he will be a most sure and never failing Protector Deliverer and Succourer to all such as have recourse to him at any time for his divine Help and Assistance and that there is no reason to doubt and despair of it if we truly serve him and wait upon him for it as we ought And this I shall endeavor farther to shew by several particulars in shewing that there is in him all that is requisite to make him an Universal Almighty and Eternal Protector and Helper to all such as trust and confide in him And First We have the greater reason to trust in the Lord Jehovah the living and true God because he is Omniscient and knows every thing He is not a God that is short sighted and in a great measure ignorant of the Concerns of this World or of our particular State and Condition here for this would render him unfit for being so certain and sure a Rock of our trust and confidence in all our exigencies and dangers But he cannot be in the least thought deficient herein because he knows all things whatsoever without all exception that are comprehended within the compass of the whole World God saith St. John 1 Jo. 3.2 is greater than our hearts and knoweth all things So universal is his knowledg that nothing is excluded from it His knowledg is general and is extended to all places in the whole World As all the parts of the whole Universe are the work of his hands so all ly naked and open to his view He that fills Heaven and Earth is every where and has all the World plain and clear before his piercing eyes And this is often affirmed in the sacred Scriptures Psal 139.8 saith the Psalmist If I ascend up into Heaven
thou art there If I make my bed in hell behold thou art there If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea even there shall thy hand lead me and thy right hand shall hold me And saith the Prophet Hanani 2 Chr. 16.9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro thorowout the whole earth to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him His eyes are employed every where and no place escapes them and with this design too to see what is needful and wanting to all such as have a perfect heart towards him that he may succour and help them And saith Solomon Prov. 15.3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good All places tho' never so far distant and remote from one another ly plain and open before his all-seeing eyes and are never absent from them His eyes and knowledge penetrate thro' all dark and hidden places where secret works are often a hammering out which are concealed from the eyes of the World but are there as visible to him as if they were doing in the open light Psal 139.11 If I say surely the darkness shall cover me saith the Psalmist even the night shall be light about me Yea the darkness hideth not from thee but the night shineth as the day the darkness and the light are both alike to thee Darkness it self will not secure any from his sight and knowledg He by his unconceivable Deity and Godhead fills all places and is every where present and there is no place where any one can hide himself from his knowledg as he himself affirms by the Prophet Jer. 23.24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him saith the Lord Do not I fill heaven and earth saith the Lord There is no place that can be excluded from his eye and knowledg because there is no place whatsoever but he is there And as God's knowledg is extended to all places so is it also extended to all Creatures and to all their works and actions and especially to all the works of mankind There is not one of all his Creatures whereof there are numberless Hosts and Armies that is ever without the sight of his eyes nor is there one action that is done by any of them all that escapes his cognizance but he takes knowledg of it Is 40.25 To whom then will ye liken me or shall I be equal saith the holy One Lift up your eyes on high and behold who hath created these things that bringeth out their host by number he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might for that he is strong in power not one faileth This perfect knowledg hath he of all the Armies of his Creatures And he is privy to all the actions that are done by them all and to all the secret transactions and contrivances that are done or a doing any where through-out the whole earth and to all the secret counsels and retired thoughts and imaginations of mens hearts His eyes are upon the ways of man and he seeth all his goings as Elihu saith Job 34.21 And saith the Psalmist Psal 94.10 He that teacheth man knowledge shall not he know Hereby shewing that it is impossible that he should be ignorant And saith Solomon Prov. 5.21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord and he pondereth all his goings And what the son of Sirach saith to this purpose is very remarkable Ecclus. 23.18 A man that breaketh wedlock saying thus in his heart who seeth me I am compassed about with darkness the walls cover me and no body seeth me what need I to fear The most High will not remember my sins Such a man only feareth the eyes of man and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the Sun beholding all the ways of men and considering the most secret parts So quick-sighted is he to behold and observe whatsoever is done every where in the most secret and retired corners and all the hidden practices and machinations of men And all men's hearts and private thoughts are all plain and open to his All-seeing eyes It is his prerogative to be the searcher of all men's hearts and to know all that is therein Deut. 31.21 saith God concerning the Israelites For I know their imagination which they go about even now before I have brought them into the land which I swâ—re All things whether past present or to come are perfectly known to Almighty God He is an everliving and eternal God and with his eternity does his knowledg bear proportion He who was and is and is to come knows all things that may be comprehended in these terms There is no such thing as forgetfulness with him and the things that are past cannot be razed and expunged out of his memory but all things that have been done from the very Creation of the World are as fresh and present with him as they were in the very day and moment when they were done For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past and as a watch in the night saith the Psalmist Psal 90.4 And saith St. Peter 2 Pet. 3.8 But beloved be not ignorant of this one thing that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day And saith St. James Acts 15.18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world All that has been done from the very Creation of the World remains clear and undefaced before him And all that is to come is clearly seen and known by him Things future are unknown to us and we cannot tell what shall come to pass hereafter except it be some way revealed to us But it is not so with God for he hath all things that are future and to come plain before his eyes This is his peculiar prerogative to have a perfect knowledge of what is to come as the Prophet sheweth Is 41.23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter that we may know that ye are Gods It is God and God alone that knoweth all things future and all that shall be done hereafter even to the end of the World is perfectly seen and known by him And the things too that men would do but shall be prevented and stopt from the doing of them are all within the reach of his sight He knows what they would do if he did not restrain them by his grace and power or prevent them by death He knows all things that can be known and his knowledge is perfect and complete in every respect And this as it ought to make us the more careful what we do because it is done before the All-seeing eyes of God so also will it be a very great ground of our trust and confidence in him For in trusting in the Lord Jehovah we do not
