And shall redeemed sinners be silent? All his works praise in obeying—go, and they go—come, and they come. To the sea He says, go so far, there let thy proud waves be stayed; foaming mountains high, there it stops. The firmament showeth His handy work. We can best glorify Him in trusting Him. Let us venture, then, to be confident. Goodness and mercy shall follow us, like as the river from the rock followed the Israelites all through the wilderness. Whatever is sent it is goodness and mercy; and this goodness and mercy but the earnest of future joy, the embryo of our future inheritance—an enjoyment by faith of promises there to be fulfilled. We are children of promise—heirs of all the promises. Children of light, waiting for the morning!
