Let Him do what seems

Let Him do what seems good to Him!

"I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for You are the one who has done this!" Psalm 39:9

There is a wonderful power of contentment . . .

in sweet submission to the revealed will of God,

in simple acquiescence to things which we cannot change, without fretting over them;

in taking cheerfully what must be taken, and

in making the best of unpleasant conditions in which we must stay for the time.

This sweet submission takes the bitterness, the hardness, the power to hurt us, out of painful circumstances — and makes them serve us and do us good.

"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised!" Job 1:21

"It is the LORD. Let Him do what seems good to Him! " 1 Samuel 3:18
