All nature, including the nature of man, is a wondrous instrument of many strings, delicately tuned to work God’s will and upon which he plays with a master hand.
— J. Gresham Machen
God Knows What We Need
If God does not give His people what they ask for – it is because He knows they do not need it, and that it is not for their good.
— Matthew Henry
The Sovereign Hand of God
It is in those times of hopeless chaos — when the sovereign hand of God is most likely to be seen.
— Thomas Chalmers
God Moves in a Mysterious Way
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sov’reign will.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow’r.
Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
— William Cowper
God’s Sovereignty
God has in himself all power to defend you, all wisdom to direct you, all mercy to pardon you, all grace to enrich you, all righteousness to clothe you, all goodness to supply you, and all happiness to crown you.
— Thomas Brooks
