'Keep your mind quiet. Lean back on God, and don't worry. It is His
affair, and if you have done what you could, that is enough. Alas! how
little we have of the faith that can "stand still, and see the Salvation
of God." What would you do if you were put in custody for two years, like
Paul was? And yet that imprisonment at Rome sent the Gospel far and wide!
God's ways are not our ways. He takes in the whole field at once, and
does the best He can for the entire world. Human wisdom never has been
able at the time to comprehend His plans, but years after it has often
seen their wisdom. Let us learn to trust in the dark--to stand still.'
