"Men can come to our help, but they travel
slowly, creeping along the earth. Lo, our God comes riding on the
heavens. Those who travel on the earth may be stopped by enemies, they
certainly will be hindered; but he who rides upon the heavens cannot be
stayed nor even delayed. When Jehovah's excellency comes flying upon the
sky on the wings of the wind, how gloriously are displayed the
swiftness, the certainty, and the all sufficiency of delivering grace . .
.
Fall back upon yourselves, lean upon your
fellow creatures, trust upon earth born confidences, and you fall upon a
rotten foundation that shall give way beneath you; but rest upon your
God and upon your God alone, and the stars in heaven shall fight for you
. . . and things present and things to come, and heights, and depths,
and all the creatures subservient to the will of the omnipotent Creator,
shall work together for good for you, seeing that you love God and are
depending upon his power."
~Charles Spurgeon
