In the details of life, the troubles may be between us and God, or God between us and the troubles. In the one case, we break down like Job; in the other, we endure afflictions according to the power of God.

" The waters saw Thee, O God, the waters saw Thee; they were afraid " (Ps. 77:16). So saith He, "Winds blow not; seas, rage not; fire, burn not; lions, devour not; sun, move not; clouds, rain not; devils, hurt not; waters, overwhelm not; sword, destroy not; " and they all obey. S. R.
