The Use. 1. This provident eye of God over all our wants, teacheth1 us what to do when we are assaulted by any enemy, either of body or soul; we must first of all make God our refuge and tower of defence, by getting assurance of our adoption; for if we be Gods children, he is our father, knowing, and weighing our wants, and he is most careful to make supply thereto, before we pray. Gen. 25. 22. When the two twins strove together in Rebek•aes womb, she sent to ask the Lord thereof, no doubt by Isaac her husband, who before had prayed for her, verse 21. So when Jehoshaphat was beset with many enemies, he cried unto the Lord for help, and was delivered, 2. Chron. 18. 31. and Chap. 20. 12. And it was the Prophet Davids practise to have recourse to God in all his troubles, for which cause he calls the Lord his rocks, his resting and hiding place.
