Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour! Isaiah 45:15. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth. Psalms 25:10. The Lord of hosts is wonderful in counsel and excellent in working. Isaiah 28:29.

God is wonderful in all his doings, his ways are past finding out, at the end we can see best what wise and gracious steps he took with us. Therefore, when things take such a wonderful turn that we are quite at our wits end, and do not know which way to go, we may believe the hand of the Lord is in it, and some good will come of it at last. As we experience the name of Christ to be wonderful at such times, we may well expect that he will show himself to be our counsellor, and a mighty God also. At first every thing may seem to be against us and quite contrary; but at last we see plainly, that it was highly and needful it should go contrary to our corrupt nature, and that thus it went well. For though the ways of God are marvellous, yet they are glorious.

Lord we adore thy vast designs,
The obscure abyss of providence,
Too deep to sound with mortal lines,
Too dark to view with feeble sense.

Now thou arrayest thine awful face
In angry frowns without a smile:
We through the cloud believe thy grace,
Secure of thy compassion still.

Dear Father, if thy lifted rod
Resolve to scourge us here below,
Still we must lean Upon our God,
Thine arm shall bear us safely through.
