To depend upon Gods All-sufficiency in time of trouble. [ 1999]
ABraham considering that God ws El Shaddai, a God of All-sufficiency
did assure himself, that although Sarah's womb was
dead, yet God. was not dead, but was as able to raise him a living son out of her dead womb, as he
is to raise out dead bodies out of the senselesse Earth: So Moses, when he had six hundred thousand People and upward to provide for in a sandy desart,
which yielded them neither bread nor water, considering the power of God,
did believe, that he could bring drink out of the Rock, as out of a River; and
meat out of the clouds, as out of a Cubbard: So Ionathan, when he went
against the Philistins that were thousands, had this resolution for his encourage∣ment,
That God could deliver with few, as well as with many: And so Asa
went as far as he, when he had a huge Army of Ethiopians consisting of thou∣sand thousands, besides three hundred Chariots, (the greatest Army that ever
was read of) come against him, he cryed unto the Lord his God, and said;

power, &c. And so it is, that every Man should depend upon his God, who
can help with few Friends, or no Friends, with small means or no means, as well as
if he had all the means, or all the Friends in the World; And there∣fore
let no Man be dismay'd in the time of Affliction, nor faint in the hour of

temptation; but if his troubles be great, let him remember, that God is grea∣ter;
If his Enemies be mighty, let him know, that God is mightier then they,
his hand is of Iron; and his feet of burning brasse, not onely to tread upon, but
trample under foot the Enemies of his Church and People.
