"The Goodness of God to His Creature, Man," The Gospel Messenger vol. 16 no.10, (October 1894)
AUTHOR: | Henderson, J. E.W. |
|
IN THIS PROVIDENCE GOD is exceedingly good to us, as His earthly creatures, and supremely good to His children, who are the real inheritors of the earth, to which the Saviour testifies, saying: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. This is not a perfect inheritance, but it is surely a good one, because the Lord has given it to them, and while they remain on the earth to reap this bounty, He blesses them by His presence and sustains them by His power, and causes even their sorrows and afflictions to yield them good. The prophet Nahum says, “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble.” It appears, therefore, that God’s people learn how good He is by the troubles they endure, and that they never recognize and appreciate the fact that God is good, except as they learn and experience it through His deliverances from trouble. |
