The Sweet Uses of Adversity
Job 10:2
Pastor’s Opening
And will God content with man? If God be angry, can he not take away the breath of his nostrils, and lay him low in the dust of earth? If the heart of the Almighty be moved unto hot displeasure, can he not speak in his anger, and will not the soul of man sink into the lowest hell? Will God contend—will he set himself in battle array against his creature? and such a creature? —the creature of an hour—a thing that is not, that is here to-day and gone to-morrow?

- Your humility.
II. I have thus done with the saints; I shall now turn myself to address THE SEEKING SINNER.
