God Overlooked
Hosea 2:8-9
For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.…


In Madeira there is a grove of camelia trees. A gentleman went to see the flowers, and returned much disappointed, as not one was visible. He made a second visit, and was delighted when, looking up, as he had been told to do, he saw a canopy of large white and scarlet flowers, forty feet overhead. In times of difficulty we are apt to look round on earthly agencies for aid, forgetting to look up to God, who in spite of all His glory, is willing to be our helper.

(J. Marrat.)
