6. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light. In the matter of personal reputation we may especially be content to be
quiet, and leave our vindication with the Judge of all the earth. Our strength
is to sit still. If we look to the Lord’s honor, he will see to ours. It is
wonderful how, when faith learns to endure calumny with composure, the filth
does not defile her. Even in the worst cases, where a good name is for awhile
darkened, Providence will send a clearing like the dawning light, which will
increase until the man once censured is universally admired. And thy judgment as the noonday. No shade of reproach will remain. The darkness of
sorrow and ill-repute will both flee away.
