PREFACE
There comes a time when one must simply look at the facts, see them in contour, note their construction, watch for their constrictions, abide by their constraints, and act as the case requires.
There is a time for imagination and the seeking of wisdom, of vision; and there is a time when one must rest in quest, with what is found.
There is a time to discover, and a time to abide by the discovery.
There is a time to seek God and to know the meaning, in sum, of what He has made, and a time to abide in the summit from which the perspective which stands and does not vary, is obtained.
There is a time to seek, and a time to find. There is a time to work and a time to rest. There is a time to ascend, and a time to be abased. When one is abased, there is a time to find the summit from which one has come, and a time to be restored to it, in one's own proper place, as a subject of the sovereign of life, not a muddled profusion of confusion, but the very light by which one has looked, searched and found.
On the other hand, there is a time when many stop seeking, because they will not find. Their guilty guile removes from them the summit, and their pride or pretension removes the abasement necessary before the divine escalator restores.
There is a time to thirst, and a time to have thirst quenched. There is a time when it is timely to drink of the water which in mercy Jesus Christ, the divine Saviour gives, and there is a time when it is too late.
Let us then, at THIS time, look at the sums, the totallings, the summits, the provisions of the Lord, and see things in sum.
