Can rest in peace even when seemingly in the power of those who intend to take his life. 2. Is never fully in the power of his enemies, God never irrecoverably surrenders him. 3. Has celestial messengers sent to his comfort and deliverance. 4. Is cared for, not only in great, but also in small matters. 5. Though for the while not recognising the fact, yet soon will be sure to see that God has helped him in every deliverance from trouble. (S. S. Times.)
