When we can be still, can quiet fears and doubts, cease from outlining, and look up, knowing that God governs every event of our lives; when we cease wondering when the answer will come and how it will happen, and trust His constant care, then we begin to realize the truth of Jesus' words (John 14:10), "The Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." Then, and then only, can we prove that God is the source of man's being; that man has not a single quality apart from Him.
