Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“The works of God, being wondrous, do well  deserve our most serious consideration; but so wavering are our minds, we cannot consider them aright, unless we stand still and compose ourselves for that end.  this advice doth Elihu give to Job, and Moses to the Children of Israel.  All God’s works are wondrous and highly worthy of our observations, as his works of creation and providence; and more especially his works of redemption and of grace.
