2. Here is a mighty support for Faith, God Creates. He that made all things with a word, what cannot he do? He can create strength in weakness; he can create a supply of our wants. What a foolish question was that, Psal. 78.19. Can he prepare a table in the wilderness? Cannot he that made the World do much more? Psal. 124.8. Our help standeth in the Name of the Lord, who made Heaven and Earth. Rest on this God for help, who made Heaven and Earth. The work of Creation, as it is a Monument of God's Power, so it is a stay to Faith. Is thy Heart hard, he can with a word create softness. Is it unclean, he can create purity; Psal. 51.10. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Is the Church of God low, he can create Jerusalem a Praise, Isa. 65.18. No such golden Pillar for Faith to stay upon as a creating Power.
