It is a great comfort in two Cases. 1. In temporall afflictions. 2. In spirituall temptations.
1. For the time of temporal trouble and afflictions, that place is pregnant for this purpose, Micah 4.5.1 Every one will walk in the name of his God. The Philistines •ad their god D•gon, the rich man walks in the name of his god riches, but mark what the Text saith, we will walk in the name of our God for ever and ever. Your good god riches will be gone in misery and sickness, and when you have most need of comfort, where is your god riches now? but let us walk in the name of our God for ever; in the name of Christ who lives for ever. That also of David who slew Kings for their sakes, Og the King of Bashan, for his mercy endureth for ever; how ever misery endureth, yet his mercy endureth for ever. Therefore walk thou in the name of thy God; wicked men endure yet a while haling, yet mercy endureth for ever comforting of GOD's Children. Let thy heart therefore be comforted with this.
