Proverbs 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD. After all, what silly and short-sighted children we are! Only spelling out the alphabet in God's infant school, and yet aspiring to a seat in His cabinet! How differently our life-stories will read when we have a chance to correct them in the clear light of heaven! Then we shall discover under the head of "Accidents" there was written as in invisible ink, "The lot is cast into the lap, but the disposing thereof is of the Lord." On the page that we had surrounded with black lines, and inscribed it "Obituaries," we shall see how distinctly a Divine finger has written, "Whom I love I chasten." (Theodore L. Cuyler.). Parallel Verses KJV: The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.WEB: The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh. |
