We have so much in scripture to encourage us,as regareds provision and protection,but it is William Plummer who wrote these are general principals,which are not universally true,in other words there will be exceptions. The three men in the book of Daniel realised this cp Daniel 3v17-18. they were faced with death,they were going to be burned alive.As they stood before the heathen king,they declared their confidence in Gods ability to save them,this is were most of us stop,but they did not stop there,they went on to say,but even if He does not.In the Acts 12 we read how Peter was wonderfully delivered from death,but James was put to death. The important thing is that Gods will is equally in the exception as it is in the universal,remember when our Saviour prayed to His Father not my will be done but Thine , He was facing death. In 2 kings 13 we read of Elisha the prophet dying of an illness,why did he not cry unto God to heal him?,after all God had granted him a miraculous ministry, even after he died,a dead man came to life,when his body touched the bones of Elisha.Yes there are exceptions ,but the general rule is God will provide,protect, and undertake, I have found it to be so in my own life.
A prayer....../ Dear God grant us the grace to trust You at all times in Jesus name Amen/
