(J. C. Ryle , "The Gospel of John")
"My times are in Your hands." Psalm 31:15
The servants of Christ in every age should treasure up the doctrine before us, and remember it in time of need. It is full ofsweet, pleasant, and unspeakable comfort to godly people. Let such never forget that they live in a world where God overrules all times and events, and where nothing can happen but by God's permission. The very hairs of their heads are all numbered. Sorrow and sickness, and poverty, and persecution, can never touch them--unless God sees fit.Then let them work on confidently. They are immortal--until their work is done. Let them suffer patiently--if needs be that they suffer.That hand guides and governs all things here below, and makes no mistakes!
