To overcome our own passions, requires more steady management, than obtaining victory over an enemy.

Commentary on Proverbs 16:33

(Read Proverbs 16:33)

All the disposal of Providence concerning our affairs, we must look upon to be the determining what we referred to God; and we must be reconciled to them accordingly. Blessed are those that give themselves up to the will of God; for he knows what is good for them.
