The Scorned Kindness of the King
I now see that duties are ours, events are the Lord’s.
When our faith goes to meddle with events, and to hold a court, as it were, upon God’s Providence, and begins to say, “How wilt Thou do this or that?” we lose ground. We have nothing to do there. It is our part to let the Almighty exercise His own office, and steer His own helm. And he steers well.
– Samuel Rutherford
