in Signs of the Times vol.25 no.10 (May 1857)
WHILE CONTEMPLATING the charms of nature, with all its
beauty, and reflecting on the wise order of the natural government
of matter, both animate and inanimate, we are led to
think, also, of the government of God in matters pertaining to
the spiritual kingdom. The first thought that presents itself to
us is the certainty and immutability of all things pertaining to
this kingdom. While thousands are vacillating and have no fixedness
of purpose, and consequently do not enjoy the sweets of
fellowship with the Father; he has been pleased to reveal himself
to us in such a manner that we can appreciate all the promises,
claim them as our own, and go on our way rejoicing, with the
full assurance “That he worketh all things after the counsel of
his own will, and that all things work together for good to those
who love God, who are the called according to his purpose.” |
