Our Needs and His Fulness

“Grace to help in time of need.”
— Heb. 4:16

On to Canaan's rest still wending,
E'en thy wants and woes shall bring
Suited grace from high descending; —
Thou shalt taste of mercy's spring.

“Wisdom and philosophy never found out God; He makes Himself known to us through our needs; necessity finds Him out. … The sinner's heart — yes, and the saint's heart too — is put in its right place in this way. I doubt much if we have ever learned anything solidly except we have learnt it thus.”
