The time of Gods delivering his people is the morning; the Obs. 2 morning after the sad and dark night. As light is comfortable in the morning, after a sad, dark, and stormy night; so is deliverance after trouble. The morning is very desirable, as appears Psal. 130.6.1 My soul waiteth for the Lord, in the morning watch. Gods mercies after afflictions are very sweet, as the light approaching in the morning is to the labouring-man going to his work. When God hath work for men to do, he expects that they should go forth to it, and show themselves in it: as the Sun when it riseth begins to show it self in its brightness and glory, Use. so ought every Christian to shine in the work and service of God after deliverance. In a sickness, or when some straight is upon thee thou art hindered in Gods service, and in thy work; well then, when God shows thee, and bestows upon thee the morning of a deliverance, go forth and manifest thy working for God, be not ashamed of his Cause under the shine of such a mercy.
