Excerpt from Some of God's Ministries

He that is of the truth heareth My words, as if some preparation of heart were needful; and God's shepherding is never so obvious that men might be drawn to it by mere self-interest. It needs a big heart to do justice to the providence of God; and whilst the small nature cavils at the look of things, the great rejoices in a love which does not fail; and in the valley of the shadow, when every limb is racked with pain and every nerve is jarred, it still confesses God as Shepherd and as Friend. Even on that bitter road to exile, it was not man's ungentleness which made their utter misery, for if God had been in their thoughts they would have been above the brutalities of Assyrian soldiers. A French martyr, in the hands of his tormentors, was able to say, My soul is like a garden full of shelter and of fountains. No malice of bad men bent on hurting him could enter there, nothing but the comfort of God's goodness. So with the devout of Ezra's company, there remained no grumbling for their tired limbs and sleepless, anxious nights, nothing but a cordial recognition of the sheltering care of God; and in every one who knows God truly, there is found something of this noble art which overlooks discomfort and discovers His presence even in the heart of distress.
