These are blessed inquiries, and all tend to lead the soul to God, and to induce the happy issue in which the questions end. No, God hath not cast off his people whom he foreknew. God hath not, God will not. He hath spoken peace to Israel, and he will not unsay it. Then it is our infirmity, and not the want of God's faithfulness, that induceth complaints of all kinds. It is blessed to hang upon God, as a covenant God, when all things are dark and discouraging. The word, the oath of Jehovah, sealed in the blood of the covenant, are enough to still the soul under the sharpest exercises of faith.
