The Lord takes care of His own

I had also this consideration, that I if I should now venture all for God, I engaged God to take care of my concernments; but if I forsook Him and His ways for fear of any trouble that should come to me or mine, then I should not only falsify my profession but should count also that my concernments were not so sure…This was a smarting consideration, and was as spurs unto my flesh. {John Bunyan]
