The Will of God

This is the strongest and most binding reason that can be used to a Christian mind, which hath resigned itself to be governed by that rule, to have "the will of God" for its law. Whatsoever may be required of it upon that warrant it cannot refuse. Although it cross a man's humour or his private interest, yet, if his heart be subjected to the will of God, he will not stand against Him in anything. One word from God, "I will have it so," silences all, and carries it against all opposition.—Leighton
