They were placed upon it with the best intent, to steady it when trembling and shaking as the oxen   drew it along the rough way; but they touched God's work\r\npresumptuously, and they fell paralyzed and lifeless. Much of the life of faith consists in letting things alone.\r\nIf we wholly trust an interest to God, we must keep our hands off\r\nIt, and He will guard it for us better than we can help Him. \"Rest\r\nin the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because\r\nof him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.\"\r\nThings may seem to be going all wrong, but He know as well as we;\r\nand He will arise in the right moment if we are really trusting Him so fully as to let Him work in His own way and time. There is\r\nnothing so masterly as inactivity in some things, and there is\r\nnothing so hurtful as restless working, for God has undertaken to\r\nwork His sovereign will. --A. B. Simpson. Being perplexed, I say,\r\n\r\n\"Lord, make it right!\r\nNight is as day to Thee, Darkness as light.\r\nI am afraid to touch\r\nThings that involve so much;\r\nMy trembling hand may shake, My skilless hand may break;\r\nThine can make no mistake.\"\r\nBeing in doubt I say, \"Lord, make it plain;\r\nWhich is the true, safe way? Which would be gain?\r\nI am not wise to know, Nor sure of foot to go;\r\nWhat is so clear to Thee,   Lord, make it clear to me!\"\r\nIt is such a comfort to drop the tangles of fife into Gods hands and leave them there.",1783499793181]
