Weekly Bible quote 80

In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind - (Job 12:10)

I take hold of Reality and make It my own

Hardship and difficulty may leave the impression that we are alone, but it is not so. There is no place, no state of being, outside of All-in-all. Our lives are a fulfilling of what is, not a journey into foreign territory.

However isolated in spirit we may feel, however alienated in outlook from our world, however frightened by apparent prospects, we are ever held in His arms. The universe that seems to lie about us is really within us, and cannot harm itself. Our part is to see it thus and make it thus: "Let me dwell in Thy tent forever! Oh to be safe under the shelter of Thy wings!"
