Someone who knew what it was to trust God once said: “During the last two years, though I have said little about them, I have had many a crevasse open up before me. The ice has seemed to split asunder, and I have looked down into the blue depths.

“It is a glorious thing to have a big trouble, a great Atlantic billow, that takes you off your feet and sweeps you right out to sea, and lets you sink down into the depths, into old ocean’s lowest caverns, till you get to the foundation of the mountains, and there see God, and then come up again to tell what a great God He is, and how graciously He delivers His people.”

“He stilled the storm to a whisper” (Psalm 107:29).

Life is to be just hard enough to bring out the heroic! I shall go across battlefields and into twisting storms that I may have an experience of the Father’s care, protection, and glorious deliverance. I am to share in the tremendous experiences of the great!

Only when Christ opened thine ear to the storm, did He open thine ear to the stillness. GEORGE MATHESON
