3. He shall send from heaven. If there
be no fit instruments on earth, heaven will yield up its legions of angels for
the succor of the saints. We may in times of great straits expect mercies of a
remarkable kind; like the Israelites in the wilderness, we shall have our bread
hot from heaven, new every morning. Wherever the battle is more fierce than
ordinary, there will come succor from headquarters, for the Commander-in-Chief
sees all. And save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up.
He will be in time not only to rescue his servants from being swallowed up but
even from being reproached. Not only will they escape the flames, but not even
the smell of fire will pass upon them. Our foes will not have the power to
sneer at us; their cruel jests and taunting gibes will be ended by the message
from heaven which will forever save us. Selah. Such mercy may well make
us pause to meditate and give thanks. Rest, for God has given you rest! God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. He asked for mercy, and truth
came with it. Thus evermore does God give us more than we ask or think. His
attributes, like angels on the wind, are ever ready to come to the rescue of
his chosen.
