Submission to the Divine Will
Acts 21:13-14
Then Paul answered, What mean you to weep and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only…


Payson was asked, when under great bodily affliction, if he could see any particular reason for this dispensation. "No," replied he, "but I am as well satisfied as if I could see ten thousand; God's will is the very perfection of all reason."

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
