Truly, Thou art a God who hidest Thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior. -Isaiah 45:15

I have heard of a man who went into a smith’s smithy one day, and he began complaining of the wet weather. “Why,” said he, “smith, you talk about Providence! There is too much wet by half. If there were any Providence, it would manage things a great deal better. There is the wheat nearly all spoilt, and the barley is going. I tell you,” says he, “there is no Providence; things don’t go right.” The smith took no notice of his observations, but after a while walked across the smithy, and took down an odd-looking tool which he used in his craft, and said to him, “Do you know what that is used for?” “No,” said he, I don’t.” “Look at it; look at it, and find out.” He did look, and then he said he did not know. The smith put up that tool, and took down another, an ugly-looking tool, and says he, “Do you know what I use that for?” “No,” says the man, “I cannot conceive what you do with that.” “You can’t? Look at it, and see; perhaps you will find out.” He looked at the thing, and then he said, “No, I really do not know what is the use you put that to.” The smith put it up, and then walked leisurely back and said, “You are a great dunce. You do not know the use of my tools, and I am only a smith; and you set up to judge of the use of God’s tools, and say what is right and what is wrong. You don’t even know about a smithy, and yet, you pretend to know about the whole world.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon
