GOD'S PART.

By Samuel Rutherford

God hath a thousand keys to open a thousand doors for the deliverance of His own when he has come to the greatest extremity. Let us be faithful and care for our own part, which is to do and suffer for Him, and lay God's part on Himself and leave it there; duties are ours, events are the Lord's. When your faith goeth to meddle with events, and to hold a court (if I may so speak) upon God's Providence, and beginneth to say, "How wilt Thou do this or that?" we lose ground, we have nothing to do there; it is our part to let the Almighty exercise His own office and steer His own helm.—Samuel Rutherford.
