It should fill us with joy, that infinite wisdom guides the affairs
of the world. Many of its events are shrouded in darkness and mystery,
and inextricable confusion sometimes seems to reign. Often wickedness
prevails, and God seems to have forgotten the creatures that he has
made. Our own path through life is dark and devious, and beset with
difficulties and dangers. How full of consolation is the doctrine, that
infinite wisdom directs every event, brings order out of confusion, and
light out of darkness, and, to those who love God, causes all things,
whatever be their present aspect and apparent tendency, to work together
for good.
