The unerring hand of infinite wisdom

Nothing is so calming and comforting to the Christian pilgrim as the assurance of Divine Guidance in every, even the most minute circumstances which befall him.

Without this perception of his heavenly Father's care, a thousand intricacies must beset his path.  He must be staggered at almost every step.  But when he beholds by faith the unerring hand of infinite wisdom, wielding the stupendous machine of human events, causing everything to promote the spiritual good of His people, then he quiets himself as a little child, and can say with cheerful resignation, "Father, not my will, but yours be done."
