Ruth the Moabitess (1881)
AUTHOR: | Bazemore, Thomas J. |
|
HAD NOT THE LORD WORKED in the matter, and overruled
in his providence, Ruth would have lived and died in Moab.
But it was the purpose of God for her to go to Bethlehem Judah,
become the wife of Boaz, and a mother in Israel; hence, whatever
circumstances were necessary to bring about this end, came to
pass. It appears to us to have come to pass by chance; that is, that
it just happened so, according to natural circumstances; but we
must not forget that all circumstances are over ruled by the Lord
of heaven and earth, and that he maketh even the wrath of man
to praise him, and the remainder of wrath he restraineth.
He has all power; and the devils are subject to him, having
their bounds. Consequently, nothing done by devils or men,
can in the least thwart him in his glorious purpose. For even the
wicked acts of men and devils, are so overruled by the Lord in
his power, that they are made to subserve and further his purpose.
How consoling this glorious truth should be to every one
who loves the Lord!
“And we know that all things work together for good to
them that love God, to them who are the called according to his
purpose.”—Rom. 8:28 |
