This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mark, He doth not say, The Lord will deliver me from every evil worker, but from every evil work; though he doth not save me from my temporal enemies, blessed be God my spiritual enemies shall never hurt me, neither sin not Satan.
Lord! it is a far greater favour to be preserved from sin, than from any temporal affliction that can befal us, yea, than from death itself; The Lord will deliver me from every evil work; yea, farther, He will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom.
God has a kingdom, an heavenly kingdom for all his saints, his suffering saints especially; it is prepared for them, they are preparing for it, and they shall be put into the possession of it in due time.
He closes with a doxology here: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. As God has prepared an eternal kingdom for his saints, so they desire that God may have glory from them to eternal ages: Grace enlargeth the heart towards God, in fervent desires that his glory may be eternized.
