• Now, the question is, Are we competent to understand these ways of God in government? Is it any part of our business to sit in judgment upon them? Are we capable of unraveling the profound and awful mysteries of divine Providence? Can we — are we called upon to — account for the tremendous fact of helpless babes involved in the judgment of their guilty parents. Impious infidelity may sneer at these things; morbid sentimentality may stumble over them; but the true believer, the pious Christian, the reverent student of Holy Scripture will meet them all with this one simple but safe and solid question, “Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?” (“Deuteronomy 3” by C.H. Mackintosh)
• If man is to sit in judgment upon the actings of God in government; if he can take upon himself to decide as to what is, and what is not worthy of God to do, then, verily, we have lost the true sense of God altogether. And this is just what the devil is aiming at. (“Deuteronomy 3” by C.H. Mackintosh)
• To all those who, though very far from taking common ground with the infidel, are nevertheless troubled with doubts and misgivings as to some of God’s ways in government, and as to the awful question of eternal punishment, we would earnestly recommend them to study and drink in the spirit of that lovely little Psalm 131. (“Deuteronomy 3” by C.H. Mackintosh)
