He shall choose our inheritance for us. Unerring wisdom ordained your lot, and selected for you the safest and best condition. So, it may be, you would run aground and suffer shipwreck, if your divine Captain did not steer you into the depths of affliction where waves of trouble follow each other in quick succession.
Some plants die if they have too much sunshine.
It may be that you are planted where you get but little, you are put there by the loving Husbandman, because only in that situation will you bring forth fruit unto perfection. Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there. Be content with such things as you have, since the Lord has ordered all things for your good. From Charles H. Spurgeon's Morning and Evening . This daily devotional has been inspiring Christians for more than 100 years.
