“He has always been a haven to preserve us” by Stephen Charnock

“God is a perpetual refuge and security to His people.

His providence is not confined to one generation; it is not one age only that tastes of His bounty and compassion.

His eye never yet slept, nor has He suffered the little ship of His church to be swallowed up, though it has been tossed upon the waves.

He has always been a haven to preserve us, a house to secure us.

He has always had compassions to pity us and power to protect us.

He has had a face to shine when the world has had an angry countenance to frown.”

–Stephen Charnock, The Existence and Attributes of God, ed. Mark Jones, Updated and Unabridged, vol. 1 (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2022), 1: 412.
