“I know that never blooms in vain
A flower in any woodland lair,
That not a single drop of rain
Is lost upon the desert air.
“I know that never is there whirled
Against the shore a grain of sand
But, in the building of the world,
Serves to complete the perfect plan.”
It is comforting to think of trouble, in whatever form it may come to us, as a heavenly messenger, bringing us something from God. In its earthly aspect it may seem hurtful, even destructive; but in its spiritual outworking it yields blessing.
