DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mary Wilder Tileston, through the words of Edward B. Pusey, emphasizes
the intricate care and knowledge God has for each individual, even down
to the very hairs on our heads, as mentioned in Matthew 10:30. She
encourages walking in the strength of the Lord God, as expressed in
Psalms 71:16, trusting in His power and guidance. Tileston highlights
the importance of recognizing God's will in both great troubles and
daily, seemingly insignificant trials, teaching that even in the
smallest challenges, we can practice aligning our will with God's will,
ultimately conforming to His divine purpose.

The very hairs of your head are all numbered.

MATTHEW 10:30

I will go in the strength of the Lord God.

PSALMS 71:16

NO trouble is too small wherein to see the will of God for thee. Great
troubles come but seldom. Daily fretting trials, that is, what of
thyself would fret thee, may often, in God's hands, conform thee more to
His gracious will. They are the daily touches, whereby He traces on thee
the likeness of His divine will. There is nothing too slight wherein to
practice oneness with the will of God. By daily practice in slight
crosses of our own will, do we learn the lesson our Lord taught, "Not as
I will, but as Thou." All the things whereof men daily complain may
perfect thee in the will of God. The changes of the seasons, bodily
discomforts or ailments, rude words, petty slights, little jealousies,
unevenness of temper in those with whom thou livest, misunderstandings,
censures of thy faith or practice, severe judgments, thanklessness of
those thou wouldest benefit, interruptions in what thou wouldest do,
oppressiveness or distraction of thy labors,--whatever thou canst think
of, wherein others fret themselves, and, still more, thyself; therein
thou seest how to be of one will with God.

EDWARD B. PUSEY
