Nothing is too little or too great for God to rule and overrule. All that a man undergoes is also ordained of Heaven. From the first to the last it has all happened according to the Divine purpose, and ordained by the Divine will. You shall neither die before your time, nor live beyond it. All that concerns you, from first to last, all that is of you and in you and around you, is in the Divine purpose.
Fate is hard and cruel, but predestination is fatherly and wise and kind.
When we see that all things are arranged by Him who orders all things according to the counsel of His own will, then we bow our heads and worship. Our happiness lies very much in our complete submission to the Lord our God. Oh, it is a blessed thing when we know that God is ordering all the events of Providence. If He has purposed it, even so let it be, since all things work together for good to those who love God, even to those who are called according to His purpose. Beloved, remember that all our past and all our coming prosperity, if indeed He shall so appoint it, is in the hand of God.
