Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
The promise is that God rescues His people from mortal peril in the work of warning that Christ is soon to come, that He continues to rescue them, and that He will still rescue them in the future. That rescue meets those who faint for lack of bread with children in their arms, who know poverty, and who suffer heat and cold while traveling from place to place to proclaim the word of God. It sustains workers in the cause until means is provided, restores a paralyzed husband to health in answer to prayer, and then meets renewed want brought on by long affliction by showing the afflicted what to do. Past rescue in affliction is the ground for trusting Him for continued rescue, and earnest love for those in sin makes such sacrifice willing.
