4. The committing acts of Faith imply a full acknowledgement and owning of Gods power to protect us, be the danger never so imminent, Psal. 31. 15. My times are in thy hand, deliver me from the hands of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. q. d. O Lord I am fully satisfied, my life is not at the dispose of mine enemies, 'tis not in their hands, but in thine; all the traps and snares they lay for it shall not shorten one minute of my time, I know thine hand is fully able to protect me, and therefore into thine hands I resign my self, and all I have.
5. Resignation involves in it an expectation of help and safety from God, when we see no way of security from men. O Lord, saith Jehoshaphat, We have no might nor no strength, neither know we what to do, but our eyes are unto thee, 2 Chron. 20. 12. So David, Psal. 62. 5, 6. My soul wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is from him, he only is my rock and my salvation, he is my defence I shall not be moved.
