Luke 8:49. While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruder of the synagogues, house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
Be resigned, and say, "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away," and expect not the blessing back again. Do as David did, who, while the child was yet alive, fasted and played, saying, "Peradventure, God will spare him, but when he was dead, fasted no more. Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master." Ah! but this man knew that he who can stay the soul at the gates of death can also Bring it back from the gates of death if he wills. He that can get it from the paw of the lion can get it from the jaw of the bear. He can deliver his people at all times and at all seasons, and even Death is a conquered foe.
