Each one of us does his own little part in carrying out God’s great plan. If our part is to stand and wait, it is no less honourable than his who comes after us and takes up what fell from our hands and carries it on to completion. Said the blind Milton —
“They also serve who only stand and wait.”
“The world comes to him that can wait,” says the proverb; and victory comes, and rest comes, and God comes, and glory comes, to him that can wait.
