God's Retributive Resources
Exodus 8:20-24
And the LORD said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; see, he comes forth to the water; and say to him…


I once knew a good woman who had three children, and the youngest was her pet. And it died, and said she, "Now God has done all that He can do." But a little after another was burnt to death, and then she said, "I see God can do more yet." Soon after the other fell into a boiler of water, and was scalded to death. Says she, "God can do more yet." Afterwards her husband died, and then she said, "Now God has done all things well." If she had said this before, she would have had her husband and two children alive; but God must bring His work to pass. He afflicts us for our good.

(Matthew Wilks.)
