God never makes us sensible of our weakness except to give us of His strength.
—Fenelon.
Even when the shadows of trial are falling around us, let us "pass through the cloud" with the sustaining motive—"All my wish, O God, is to please and glorify Thee!"
God governs in the affairs of men; and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, neither can a kingdom rise without His aid.
Thou art! directing, guiding all, Thou art!
Direct my understanding then to Thee;
Control my spirit, guide my wandering heart:
Though but an atom midst immensity.
Can we outrun the heavens?
God's will is the very perfection of all reason.
Converting grace puts God on the throne, and the world at His footstool; Christ in the heart, and the world under His feet.
However wickedness outstrips men, it has no wings to fly from God.
