Christmas Letter 2023 by Marcus

So while doing my Bible study that I am working on over the summer, entitled
"God's Riches: A Work-Book on the Doctrines of Grace," I came across a quote
that must be shared! :)

Who hath made the earth faithful to bring forth fruit... but God? Yet we can trust the ground with sowing our seed. Who makes man faithful, who is by nature the most slippery and unconstant creature of all other, but God alone? Yet we can rust a vain man, whose breath is in his nostrils, and look for great matters at his hands, before an all-sufficient God, that changeth not. Who makes the seas and the winds faithful, that they do not hurt us, but God? And yet we are apt to trust the wind and weather sooner than God, as we see many seamen that will thrust forth their goods into the wide ocean in a small bark, to shift any way, rather than trust God with them. ~ Salvian.

Convicting!
