strengthened
by
it
!
All
flesh
must
be
silent
before
the
Lord
(see
Zech.
ii.
13).
All
self-efFort
must
cease
when
He
appears.
In
order
still
further
to
induce
us
to
abandon
ourselves
to
Him
without
reserve,
God
assures
us
that
we
need
fear
nothing
from
such
aban-donment,
because
He
has
a
special
individual
care
over
each
of
us.
He
says,
"
Can
a
woman
forget
her
sucking-child,
that
she
should
not
have
compas-sion
on
the
son
of
her
womb
?
Yea,
she
may
forget,
yet
will
I
not
forget
thee
"
(Isa,
xlix.
15).
Ah,
words
full
of
consolation
1
Who
on
hearing
them
can
fear
to
abandon
himself
utterly
to
the
guidance
of
God
?
