1What course shall we take to keep God comfortably with us? Look thou be in covenant with him,2 and not only at large in covenant:3 but look that continually upon all occasions thou renew thy covenant:1 for sometimes Gods children may be in covenant, they may be his children; yet because they renew not their covenant, especially after some breaches, God is not with them, so comfortably as he would, to free them from their enemies; as we see in the case of the Benjamites, Gods people sometimes may have the worst, though they be in covenant because they have committed some sin, and have not renewed their peace and covenant with God. Therefore if we would make a comfortable use of this truth, ⟨p. 91⟩that God is with us, and would find him so in our affairs and business, let us renew our covenant upon all occasions, and our purpose to please God.
