He cares for you. I Peter 5:7. II. God's care is not merely for the order of His system, but personal, with regard for a man's individuality. He says, "Behold I stand at the door and knock." He waits on our personal action, but His patient waiting is not with the cold face of an inscrutable destiny. God has all the winning and gracious ways with which a wise mother knows how to persuade her children to choose wisely. A lot of garden vines had failed to twine themselves for healthy, supported growth, and it was no little work to lift them from the ground, disentangle them from noxious weeds, and then, without breaking or bruising, to start them as they ought to grow. A gardener needs to know in what direction the vines naturally twine, and a hundred things more; and then he has to handle them with patient and persistent care. I have seen bullets made out of cold lead, crushed into shape in the steel grip of a machine; and I have heard that gold and silver, though cold, are stamped into money by a powerful steel die; but when God would mold a man to His will He warms the wax before He presses His seal upon it. |
Sol Wise eCourses welcomes you today
to examine with us the matter of Our Wonderful Heavenly Father!
When the Lord Jesus Christ came to earth to earth, one of the most important lessons He taught,
was that when we pray, we should address God as Our Father.
No one before had ever taught us to view God as Father.
On this web site our aim is to highlight lessons about Our Father
adapted from articles by Franklin Noble III, D.D, written around 1907.
