God's Face Hidden
Isaiah 54:8
In a little wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on you…


To say God hath cast me off because He hath hid His face is a fallacy fetched out of the devil's topics. When the sun is eclipsed, foolish people may think it will never recover light, but wise men know it will. During the eclipse, though the earth wanteth the light of the sun for a time, yet not the influence thereof.

(J. Trapp.)
