God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
What is “resting in God,” but the instinctive movement and upward glance of the spirit to Him; the confiding of all one’s griefs and fears to Him, and feeling strengthened, patient, hopeful in the act of doing so! It implies a willingness that He should choose for us, a conviction that the ordering of all that concerns us is safer in His hands than in our own (James Burns).
