Like a Watch?

“Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; how blessed are all those who long for Him. – He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you.” Isaiah 30:18-19

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and turn away from evil; it will be healing to your body, and refreshment to your bones.” Proverbs 3:5-8

“The reason the mass of men fear God, and at the bottom dislike Him, is because they rather distrust His heart, and fancy Him all brain like a watch.” -- Herman Melville *
