“Why do you worry? What possible use does your worrying serve? You are aboard such a large ship that you would be unable to steer even if your Captain placed you at the helm. You would not even be able to adjust the sails, yet you worry as if you were the captain or the helmsman of the vessel. Be quiet, dear soul– God is the Master!
“Do you think all the commotion and the uproar of this life is evidence that God has left His throne? He has not! His mighty steeds rush furiously ahead, and His chariots are the storms themselves. But the horses have bridles, and it is God who holds the reins, guiding the chariots as He wills!
“Our God Jehovah is still the Master! Believe this and you will have peace.”
(Charles Spurgeon, quoted in Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman)
Ahh…the peace that passes understanding; this one benefit of knowing God enables me to press on. Without it who can bear the storms?!
