Submission to God’s Will – Charles Spurgeon

AS long as I trace my pain to accident, my bereavement to mistake, my loss to another’s wrong, my discomfort to an enemy, and so on, I am of the earth earthy, and shall break my teeth with gravel stones; but when I rise to my God and see his hand at work, I grow calm, I have not a word of repining, “I open not my mouth because you did it.” David preferred to fall into the hands of God, and every believer knows that he feels safest and happiest when he recognizes that he is even yet in the divine hands. Caviling with man is poor work, but pleading with God brings help and comfort. “Cast your burden on the Lord” is a precept which it will be easy to practice when you see that the burden came originally from God.
