Genesis 21:19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. "Suppose you were in a smith's shop, and there should see several sorts of tools, some crooked, some bowed, others hooked, would you," asks Spencer, "condemn all these things for nought because they do not look handsome? The smith makes use of them all for the doing of his work. Thus it is with the providences of God: they seem to us to be very crooked and strange, yet they all carry on God's work." Parallel Verses KJV: And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. |
