Escaped Safe to Land

By H. Clay Trumbull

“So it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.” Of course it did. God had promised that this should be so. His word never fails. When we can put our finger on a promise of God, we can be sure that neither earth nor hell can hinder the fulfillment of that assurance. What if the times are hard? What if our best friends have failed us? What if this burden seems sure to crush us? What if the wisest of human counselors declare that there is no help or hope for us? If we are trusting disciples of Jesus, the word of God is pledged to carry us through, to sustain us in, and finally to deliver us from, every trial and danger and trouble. So it shall come to pass that from perils of famishing, massacre, drowning, from every disappointment, sorrow, and bereavement, we shall escape safe to rest and joy and peace.—H. Clay Trumbull.
