Listen from:
This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working. Isaiah 28:2929This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working. (Isaiah 28:29)
SA 28:29{Do not quarrel with the invisible dew because it is not a visible shower. The Lord would send a shower if that was the true need to be supplied to His vineyard; but as He is sending His speech in another form, you may be quite sure it is because He is supplying your true need thereby. You cannot see why it is so, and I do not pretend to explain; but what does that matter! He knows which way to water His vineyard. These words of His, which you are remembering so feebly, or reading without being able to grasp, are not going to return void. They are doing His own work on your soul, only in a quite different way to what you would choose. By and by they will sparkle out in the light of a new morning, and you will find yourself starting fresh, and perhaps wondering how it is that the leaves of life which hung so limp and drooping are so fresh and firm again on their stems.
The' all is silence in my heart. I know that Thou hast heard.
I lay my prayer before Thee, and, trusting In Thy word,
To that blest City lead me. Lord (still choosing all my way),
Where faith melts into vision as the starlight into day.
