Description: J. Hudson Taylor
"The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken' away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Job 1:21 The believer who has taken the Lord as his Shepherd can assuredly say in the words of the twenty-third Psalm, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever"; or, taking the marginal reading of the Revised Version, "Only goodness and mercy shall follow me." Hence, we may be sure that days of adversity, as well as days of prosperity, are full of blessing. The believer does not need to wait until he sees the reason for God's afflictive dealings with him ere he is satisfied; he knows that all things work together for good to them that love God, and that all God's dealings are those of a loving Father, who permits only that which for the time being is grievous in order to accomplish results that cannot he achieved in any less painful way. The wise and trustful child of God rejoices in tribulation "knowing that tribulation worketh patience," experience, hope - a hope that "maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
