5. God is in the midst of her. His help
is therefore sure and near. How near is the Lord to the distresses of his
saints, since he sojourns in their midst! Let us take heed that we do not
grieve him. She shall not be moved. His presence renders all hope of
capturing and demolishing the city utterly ridiculous. God shall help her.
Within her he will furnish rich supplies, and outside her walls he will lay her
foes in heaps. And that right early. We are slow to meet him, but he is
never tardy in helping us. Impatience complains of divine delays, but in very
deed the Lord is not slack concerning his promise. Man’s haste is often folly,
but God’s apparent delays are ever wise.
