Job 42:2

We believe in the providence of God, but we do not believe half enough in it. Remember that Omnipotence has servants everywhere, set in their places at every point of the road. In the old days of the post horses, there were always swift horses ready to carry onward the king’s mails.

It is wonderful how God has His relays of providential agents, how when He has done with one there is always another ready to take his place. Sometimes you have found one friend fail you—he is just dead and buried. “Ah!” you say, “what shall I do?” Well, well, God knows how to carry on the purposes of His providence; He will raise up another.

I know that thou canst do every thing.—The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.—He doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

There is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
