.. God delivers repeatedly from trou-
bic. Job v, 10 HE shah deliver thee
in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall
no evil touch thee. This is a most ems
couraging factto all God s people. Trou-
bles lie all along the pathway oflife No
one is exempted from them this side the
grave. Hence IL God would only deliver
us once or twice we would soonbewith-
ont q delivcrer. But this Is not His
method. As often as trouble comes He
stands ready to deliver. If q father de.
hvers a child. or friend friend from

mer deliverances nre not excuses from
further deliyerances. but proofs of them.
Q. God delivers from all troubles. This
IL set forth in both Scriptural references.
Jobs friond mentions famine and war
and scourge of the tongue and destruc-
ton. Paul speaks of infirinities. re-
proaches, necessities. prosecutions and
distresses. All these and many others
cause us trouble, but God can deliver
from them all God Is our refuge and
strength. q very present help in trouble

Let MS act upon them. When trouble
comes to us. let MS hear the voice OF the
Saviour saying. My grace is sufficient
