"On My arm, they shall trust." Isaiah 51:5

In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he
can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on his God
alone. When his vessel is quickly sinking, and no human deliverance can
avail--he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and
care of God.

Happy storm--that wrecks a man on such a rock as this!

O blessed hurricane--that drives the soul to God and God alone!

When a man is so burdened with troubles, so poor, so friendless, so
helpless that he has nowhere else to turn--he flies into his Father's
arms, and is blessedly clasped therein! Oh, tempest-tossed believer--it
is a happy trouble which drives you to your Father!
