God's Rule the Saint's Comfort
1 Chronicles 16:31
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigns.


John Wesley used to say, "I dare no more fret than curse and swear." A friend of his said, "I never saw him fretful or discontented under any of his trials, and to be in the company of persons of this spirit always occasioned him great trouble. He said one day, 'To have persons around me murmuring and fretting at anything that happens is like having the flesh torn from my bones. I know that God sits upon the throne ruling all things!'"

(R. Newton.)
