Bible Note: "The declaration that 'our times are in the Lord's hand,' implies that the future of our history is impenetrably and mysteriously veiled from our sight. We live in a world of mysteries. They meet our eye, awaken our inquiry, and baffle our investigation at every step. Nature is a vast arcade of mysteries. Science is a mystery, truth is a mystery, religion is a mystery, our existence is a mystery, the future of our being is a mystery. And God, Who alone can explain all mysteries, is the greatest mystery of all. How little do we understand of the inexplicable wonders of a wonder-working God, 'Whose thoughts are a great deep,' and 'Whose ways are past finding out.' "To God nothing is mysterious. In purpose, nothing is unfixed; in forethought, nothing is unknown; in providence, nothing is contingent. His glance pierces the future as vividly as it beholds the past. 'He knows the end, from the beginning.' All His doings are parts of a divine, eternal, and harmonious plan. He may make 'darkness His secret place; His pavilion round about Him dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies,' and to human vision His dispensations may appear gloomy, discrepant, and confused; yet is He, 'working all things after the counsel of His own will,' and 'at the brightness that is before Him, His thick clouds pass.' and all is transparent and harmonious to His eye." --Octavius Winslow (1808-1878) |
