In the divine providence nothing comes a moment too soon or too late, but everything comes in its own true time. God's clock is never too slow. Every link of the chain of God's providences fits into its own place. We do not see the providence at the time. Not until afterward will you see that your disappointments, hardships, trials, and the wrongs inflicted on you by others, are parts of God's good providence toward you, full of blessing. Not until afterward will you see it, but the "afterward" is sure if you firmly and faithfully follow Christ and cleave to him. The "afterward" of every disappointment or sorrow is blessing and good. We need only to learn to wait in patience.
