Come, then, let us recall the Lord's former loving-kindnesses. Will He not again save us? We are sure He will. As David ran to meet his foe, so will we. The Lord has been with us, He is with us, and He has said, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." Why do we tremble? God is the same, and His honor is as much concerned in the one case as in the other. He did not save us from the beasts of the forest to let a giant kill us. Le us be of good courage."
Past Deliverance Encourages Faith
David said, "The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine."
~ 1 Samuel 17:37
"This is not promise if we consider only the word, but it is truly so as to it sense;for David spoke a word, which the Lord endorsed by making true. He argued from past deliverance's that he should receive help in a new danger. The Lord's former dealings with His believing people will be repeated.
Come, then, let us recall the Lord's former loving-kindnesses. Will He not again save us? We are sure He will. As David ran to meet his foe, so will we. The Lord has been with us, He is with us, and He has said, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." Why do we tremble? God is the same, and His honor is as much concerned in the one case as in the other. He did not save us from the beasts of the forest to let a giant kill us. Le us be of good courage."(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
