Luke 7:19

The dealings of Christ with his people are often exceedingly mysterious. He sometimes leaves them for a while to the most distressing calamities; and judging only from present appearances, they may be tempted to think that he has forgotten them. But at such times he calls them to consider his character and declarations; not to be offended at any thing which he either does or omits to do; but to feel that his ways are perfect, and that blessed for ever will be all those who put their trust in him.
