God can do wonders for the deliverance of his suffering Servants, of this his Almighty Power is a proof. God can deliver his Sufferers after such a manner, as none other can, their Enemies being Eye-witnesses and Confessors of it. Dan. 3. 28. Then Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who hath sent his Angel and delivered his Servants that trusted in him, and have changed the King's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve, nor worship any God, except their own God. Verse 29. Therefore I make a decree, that every People, Nation and Language, which speaks any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their Houses shall be made a dunghill, because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. Darius put the question to ⟨p. 17⟩Daniel in the Den; Dan. 6. 20. When he came to the Den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel, and the King spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the Lions? Verse 22. My God hath sent his Angel, and hath shut the Lions mouths, that they have not hurt me. Then follows Darius his Decree, Verse 26. I make a Decree, that in every Dominion of my Kingdom, men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: his reason why; for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his Dominion shall be even to the end.Verse 27. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in Heaven and in Earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the Lions. Behold! God can, for he hath wonderfully delivered his Servants. Three in a fiery Furnace, that the fire did not consume, nor singe them. One, in the Lions Den, that they did not devour nor ⟨p. 18⟩hurt him. Paul and Silas out of Prison, that they should be no longer confined there. He can make the fire not burn combustible matter. He can withhold Lions from what they might else have made their prey. And he can cause the foundations of a Prison by an Earthquake to be so shaken, that the doors might open, and his Servants may come forth. He can, he hath, and when he pleaseth, he still will, he hath delivered, he doth deliver, and we may trust to him according to the Promises that he hath made, that he will still deliver us, 2 Cor. 1 10.
