That counsel, Look to me and be saved, (Isa. 45.22.) is true of temporal as well as of eternal salvation. God is our best friend at all times, even in the best times, and it is best to look to him in the worst times. David could say, (Psal. 73.28.) when flesh, and strength, and heart, when all failed him; It is good for me to draw near to God. Let our condition be what it will, but especially if we are in a bad condition, it is good, yea best to go to him who hath our times, that is, all the changes of our condition in his hand, to him, in whose hand the arm of the mighty is, and in whose hand alone there is might to help and deliver us from the arm of the mighty. Is it not best to look to him in affliction, who can either support us in, or bring us out of our affliction as pleaseth him? He that made us can protect and save us; therefore in every pinching strait, in every pressing danger, let us go to God in faith and hope, and he will either give us enlargements, or do us good by and in our worst and greatest straits.
