A Declaration of Faith
Commentators emphasize that the phrase "I have said" signifies a deep, personal conviction. It's a declaration of faith made in the heart, even when circumstances might suggest otherwise. As John Calvin notes, this conviction is often the result of an "arduous conflict," teaching that faith holds onto God's promises even when His favor isn't visible.
