Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. A landsman at sea understands little how a vessel is worked; he sees her often heading almost back from her course, making strange and contrary traverses — sometimes stripped of her canvas when to him all seems fair; sometimes strong sails set upon her when the storm is driving fiercely; yet he trusts in the presiding skill, nor would he dare to give, much less countermand, an order; for in the extremity of his own ignorance he has the comfort of knowing that the pilot knows. So, in the hour of gloom, let us trust in God, for to Him the night shineth as the day; and what to us appears adverse, to Him is the guidance of our prosperity.
