A Saint Indeed

Make it your business to trust God with your lives and comforts, and then your hearts will be at rest about them. So did David, Psal. 57. 3. At what time I am afraid I will trus• •n thee, q. d. Lord, it at any time a storm rise, I will make bold to shelter from it under the Covert of thy wings. Go to God by acts of faith and trust, and never doubt but he will secure you, Isa. 62. 3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee; God takes it well when thou comest to him thus; Father, my life, my liberty, or estate are hunted after, and I cannot secure them: O let me leave them in thy hand; the poor leaveth himself with thee: and doth his God fail him? no, Thou art the helper of the fatherless, Psalm. 10. 14. that is, thou art the helper of the de•••ute one, ⟨p. 84⟩that hath none to go to but God. And that is a sweet Scripture, Psalm 112. 7. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings, his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord: he doth not say, his ear shall be privileged from the report of evil tidings, he may hear as sad tidings as other men; but his heart shall be privileged from the terror of those tidings, his heart is fixed.
