3. Safety. God takes care of his servants; he gives them a protection, Isa. 41. 9, 10. Thou art my servant, fear not, I am with thee. God hides his servants, Psa. 27. 5. In the secret of his Tabernacle *shall be hide me; that is, he shall keep me safe, as in the most holy place of the Sanctuary, where none but the Priests might enter. Christs† Wings are both for healing, and for hiding; for curing, and securing us: The Devil and his Instruments would soon devour the servants of God, if he did not set an invisible guard about them, and cover them with the golden feathers of his* Protection, Acts 18. 10. I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee. Gods watchful eye is ever upon his people, and the Enemies shall not do the mischief they intend, they shall not be destroyers, but Physicians.
