28. But it is good for me to draw near to God. Had he done so at first he would not have been immersed in such
affliction; when he did so he escaped from his dilemma, and if he continued to
do so he would not fall into the same evil again. The greater our nearness to
God, the less we are affected by the attractions and distractions of earth.
Access into the most holy place is a great privilege, and a cure for a
multitude of ills. I have put my trust in the Lord God. He dwells upon
the glorious name of the Lord Jehovah, and avows it as the basis of his faith.
Faith is wisdom; it is the key of enigmas, the clue of mazes, and the pole star
of pathless seas. Trust and you will know. That I may declare all thy works.
He who believes will understand, and so be able to teach. God’s ways are the
more admired the more they are known. He who is ready to believe the goodness
of God will always see fresh goodness to believe in, and he who is willing to
declare the works of God will never be silent for lack of wonders to declare.
