"NONE CAN STAY HIS HAND, OR SAY, WHAT DOEST THOU?" Our God's power is unsearchable and His will is infinitely perfect. It rules all events. What God wills He works. What He requires of us shows what He approves. What He accomplishes by His power and providence shows what is necessary to be done. His eye is in every place. His hand is in every event. The glorification of Himself is the object He keeps constantly in view. He has so connected His people with Himself that what glorifies Him benefits them; and what does them good, brings glory to His holy name. He is carrying out His plan, performing His work, accomplishing His purposes, quietly, constantly, and certainly, amidst all the bustle, confusion, and opposition of men. His will is law. It is the highest rule of right. If it could be effectually resisted, disorder, misery, and wretchedness will result. But the will of God is united to omnipotence. Whatever He wills His power accomplishes with ease and certainty. But to Him all the inhabitants of earth are as nothing; and He does according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of earth; and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, "What doest thou?"

For Meditation:
In heaven, and earth, and air, and seas,
He executes His firm decrees;
And by His saints it stands confessed
That what He does is ever best.
