“All His Biddings are Enablings ”* —
The Higher View
Jehovah is in charge. There’s nothing in
Our universe outside His widest strength.
He works mysteriously to counter sin;
No agency, no matter to what length
And what extremes it goes, escapes that reach.
Negation of God’s will is not for us
Delinquents to fulfil. His powers each
Pursue the aims of grace. We mustn’t truss
His high designs; they’ll win out anyhow.
If God’s own providence has joined us through
Love, we, we two can move together now,
Live out His destiny. We can—we two.
If He ordained that we should be above
Plain promiscuity, then let us love.
*Ellen G. White, Steps to Christ
