But if God be every where, why doth Christ teach us to pray, Our father which art in heaven, (Mat. 6.13.) And when the Heathen made that scoffing demand, Where is now their God? Why did David Answer, Our God is in heaven, (Psal. 115.2, 3.) To these and all other Texts of like import, we may answer; heaven is not there spoken of as bounding the presence of God, but as guiding the faith and hope of man. In the morning (saith David, Psal. 5.3.) will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. When the eye hath no sight of any help on earth, then faith may have the clearest visions of it in heaven. And while God appears so little in any Gracious dispensation for his people on earth, that the enemy begins to scoff, Where is now your God? Then his people have recourse by faith to heaven, where the Lord not only is, but is glorious in his appearings. From whence as he seeth how it is with us, so he seems to have a kind of advantage to relieve us.
