 | There is a very large part of the Bible which can be received by us only
when we come into the places for which the words were given. There are
promises for weakness which we can never get while we are strong. There
are words for times of danger which we can never know while we need no
protection. There are consolations for sickness whose comfort we can
never get while we are in robust health. There are promises for times of
loneliness, when men walk in solitary ways, which never can come with
real meaning to us while loving companions are by our side. There are
words for old age which we never can appreciate for ourselves along the
years of youth, when the arm is strong, the blood warm, the heart brave.
God cannot show us the stars while the sun shines in the heavens.
J.R. Miller
