In the written word are found all sorts of refreshing ⟨p. 61⟩strengthening, and heart-reviving promises, prepared by the wisdom and care of God for our relief in the days of darkness and trouble; promises of support under the heaviest burdens and pressures, Isai. 41. 10. Fear not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed, for I am thy God, I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. A promise able to make the most timorous and trembling soul to shout with the joy of men in harvest, or as they that divide the spoil.
There are found the encouraging promises of defence and protection, Isa. 27. 2, 3. and Isa. 33. 2. promises that lead us into the Almighty power of God, and put us under the wings of his care in time of danger.
Promises of moderation and mitigation in the day of sharp affliction that we may be able to bear it, Isai. 27. 8. 1 Cor. 10. 13.
