“The more I understand of the character of God, as revealed in Scripture, the more shall I see that he must be sovereign, and the more shall I rejoice from my inmost heart that He is so.   It was God’s sovereign will that fixed the time of my birth.  It is the same will that has fixed the day of my death.  And was not the day of my conversion fixed as certainly by that same will?”  Horatius Bonar

“There are other ways of God outside the sanctuary — “In the sea.” And there we often find ourselves at a loss. If we are occupied with the sea itself, and with trying to scan God’s footsteps there, then “they are not known.” But confidence in God himself is always the strength of faith. May the Lord grant us increasing simplicity and quietness in the midst of all that we pass through, for his name’s sake.” (Unknown; 1865)

“God knows what his people suffer; how much, how long, from whom, for what. His people should find consolation in this knowledge. 1) That trial is permitted by him; 2) That it is apportioned by him; 3) That it has its design from him; and 4) That when the design is accomplished, it will be removed by him.” (Unknown)
