This precise moment, with all its imperfections and plots and human frailty, is God’s most perfect will. By his active and permissive will, God has ordained the circumstances of your life and of the world for the salvation of your soul and the glory of his saints. Fear not nor give ear to the fearful chatter of weak men.
Much trouble occurs in the soul when the fog of the passions obscures the still voice of the Holy Spirit and prevents the believer from lifting their eyes to that which is eternal. Behold the beauty of this moment with wonder and awe.
