Nature Ministers to the Suffering
Isaiah 40:12-28
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span…


Nature has always been the resort of the suffering. Elijah to Horeb; Christ to Olivet. And in these glowing paragraphs, which touch the high-water mark of sacred eloquence, we are led forth to stand in the curtained tent of Jehovah, to listen to the beat of the surf, and watch the march of the stars.

(F. B. Meyer, B. A.)
