On providence

Providence is wonderfully intricate. Ah! You want always to see through Providence, do you not? You never will, I assure you. You have not eyes good enough. You want to see what good that affliction was to you; you must believe it. You want to see how it can bring good to the soul; you may be enabled in a little time, but you cannot see it now; you must believe it.
-- Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Earth's crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God; but only he who sees takes off his shoes.
-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I read these two quotations in two different magazines this past week, but they want to go together.
