Note to self: plagiarize this in future sermon

We put too much confidence in means. If we have good callings, house, land, living, we can then trust in God: but when means of comfort fail, we are like the Usurer, who will not trust the man, but his pawn: even so we trust not God upon his bare word, without a pawn. If he comes to us with a full hand, and with the full pawn of his good gifts, and blessings, we trust him; else not.
