So He has given a command to deliver him, to save him. It is God's will that he be saved. Again, the metaphor can be taken another step higher. It is not just a deliverance from his physical foes, but it is a salvation in a spiritual sense, and God has given that command.
And do you remember what it says about God giving commands? They do not come back to Him empty. God is working salvation in the midst of the earth. He made that command that you be saved.
Just put this together with what we saw in the last chapter. You have got to trust that God has made the command that you are going to have salvation. So trust in that. He is the Rock. He abides continually. He does not change. And He is strong and durable, and we can trust in that. We can find security in Him because He is our fortress.
