"The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long."
-DEUT. xxxiii. 12.
WHATE'ER events betide,
Thy will they all perform;
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide,
Nor fear the coming storm.
-H. F. LYTE
I HAVE seemed to see a need of everything God gives me, and want nothing that He denies me. There is no dispensation, though afflictive, but either in it, or after it, I find that I could not be without it. Whether it be taken from or not given me, sooner or later God quiets me in Himself without it. I cast all my concerns on the Lord, and live securely on the care and wisdom of my heavenly Father. My ways, you know, are, in a sense, hedged up with thorns, and grow darker and darker daily; but yet I distrust not my good God in the least, and live more quickly in the absence of all by faith, than I should do, I am persuaded, if I possessed them.
