The Mysteries of Providence
Psalm 97:2
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.


1. The limited spread and small success of the Gospel.

2. The success that has attended the propagation of error.

3. The gifts bestowed upon bad men, who abuse them, while many men of piety have smaller talents.

4. The afflictions of good men, while the wicked are so extensively prosperous.

5. The poverty of the liberal, while the churl is opulent.

6. The small degrees of sanctification in God's people.

(D. A. Clark.)
