“Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.”

If any of you, beloved, seem to be in a knot of difficulty of which you cannot get the thread, look to Him who is perfect wisdom, and let the tangle go out of your hands into His; turn the matter over to Him. What is impossible with you is perfectly possible with Him who is Almighty!
A little child at mother’s knee Plies woolen strands and needles bright. Small, eager hands strive earnestly To fasten every stitch aright. But soon perplexing knots appear Which vex and hinder progress’ flow; Impatient fingers pull and tear, While ever worse the tangles grow. How surely then in wiser hands The roughest places are made plain! How easy now the task’s demands, How wonderful the lesson’s gain! Thus, God, we bring our snarls to Thee; Though human sense and stubborn will Oft clamor loud for mastery, We hear alone Thy “Peace, be still.” EDITH SHAW BROWN
Have faith in God.—Without faith it is impossible to please God.—With God all things are possible.
Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver?
I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins.—I have laid help upon one that is mighty.—The Lord . . . thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob.—Mighty to save.—Able to keep you from falling.—Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.—He is able . . . to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him.
