Quote of the Day

"...Some great trial or temptation bursts like a tempest on the serenity of our life and overwhelms us with a sense of danger and distress. We are terrified and trembling; we see nothing but the peril that surrounds us; we struggle against the storms as best we can till there is no more endurance in us; and then we go the Master with the bitter cry of those about to perish!

Yet, as a matter of fact, He has been with us all the time. Has He not promised to never leave us? Is there not always access by faith into His gracious presence? He may be in the hinder part of the ship, asleep, and apparently oblivious of all that is passing around Him, but the pillow beneath His head is His own omniscience, and as surely as He ruled those waves and winds on Galilee's lake and reined in the tempest with a word, so certainly does He manage all the affairs of His children and appoint or permit all that concerns them."
