SECT. II.
WE have seen the grounds and reasons of Gods care over his people, let us next view the extent and compass of this Divine care; and here methinks the Lord saith to his people as he said to Abraham, Gen. 13. 14, 15. Lift up now thine eyes from the place where thou art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward, for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. So here, poor timorous, dejected Believer, lift up thine eyes from the place where thou art, and take a view of all the promises in the Scriptures of truth; promises of supports under all burdens, supplies of all wants, deliverances out of all dangers, assistances in all distresses; to thee have I given them all as a portion for ever. This care of God walks the round, and encompasseth the Souls and Bodies of them that fear him, day and night. There is no interest or concern of either found without the line of his all-surrounding Care, and every one of his children are enfolded in his Fatherly arms, Deut. 33. 3. All his Saints are in thy hand. All and every one of their wants and straits are observed by this Care, in order to their supply, Phil. 4. 19. My God shall supply all your wants.
