"In GOD'S Light, You Shall See Light."

In the great mirror of eternity!

(John MacDuff, "The Faithful Promiser")

"You do not realize now what I AM doing--
but you will understand hereafter." John 13:7

As the natural sun sometimes sinks in clouds--

so, occasionally, the Christian who has 

a bright rising, and a brighter meridian, 

sets in gloom. It is not always "light" 

at his evening time; but this we know, 

that when the day of immortality breaks, 

the last vestige of earth's shadows 

will forever flee away!

To the closing hour of time, Divine 

Providence may be to him a baffling 

enigma; but before the first hour 

has struck on Heaven's clock--

all will be cleared up! 

My soul! 

"in GOD'S light, you shall see light."
(Psalm 36:9b) 

The Book of HIS decrees is a sealed 
book now! "A great deep" is all 
the explanation you can often give 
to HIS mysterious ways. 

The why and the wherefore, 
HE seems to keep from us . . .

  to test our faith,
  to discipline us in trustful submission,
  to conform us to the image of CHRIST, 

and to lead us to say, 

"May YOUR will be done!" 
(Matthew 6:10)
But rejoice that 'hereafter'--
light awaits you! 

Now we see things imperfectly 
as in a cloudy mirror--
but then, face to face! 
In the great mirror of eternity--
all the events of this chequered 
earthly scene will be reflected. 

The darkest of them will be seen 
to be bright with mercy; the severest 
of HIS dispensations will prove to be 
"only the severer aspects of HIS love!" 

Pry not, then, too curiously! 
Do not judge too censoriously 
on GOD'S dealings with you. 
Wait with patience, until the grand 
day of disclosures; one confession 
shall then burst from every tongue, 

"HE has done all things well!"
(Mark 7:37b)
