Hath God cared for your life, and will not you trust him for Food and Raiment? experience is a great support for confidence in God, 2 Cor. 1.10. Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver, in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us. When David had had experience of Gods delivering him from the Lion and the Bear, he trusted in God to deliver him from the hands of the uncircumcised Philistine, 1 Sam. 17.37. When thou hast been in danger, God hath kept thee; and when thou hast been in sickness, God hath restored thee: and, if it be good for thee, he will do so again.

For we had the sentence of death in our selves, that we should not trust in our selves, but in God which raiseth the dead. That God that can raise the dead, may be trusted in any case or condition: You have found him able.
