God a Background
Isaiah 41:10
Fear you not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you…


Dr. Dale of Birmingham, towards the close of his life, made the following entry in his diary: "Of course, when Sir Andrew Clark was sent for, and — and — came, I understood that my position was regarded as critical. I was too weak, however, to be much moved by it — too weak to find much direct consolation in the eternal springs of strength and joy. God was a kind of background to everything — hardly discerned, but there; this was all."

(Life of R. W. Dale.)
