If your inheritance be a lowly one you should be satisfied with it; for you may rest assured that it's the fittest for you. Unerring wisdom ordained your lot & selected for you the safest & best condition. A ship of large tonnage is to be brought up the river; now, in one part of the stream there's a sandbank; should some one ask, “Why does the captain steer through the deep part of the channel & deviate so much from a straight line?” His answer would be, “Because I shouldn't get my vessel into harbor at all if I didn't keep to the deep channel.” So, it may be, you would run aground & suffer shipwreck, if your divine Captain didn't steer you into the depths of affliction where waves of trouble follow each other in quick succession.
Some plants die if they have too much sunshine. It may be that you're planted where you get but little, you're put there by the loving Husbandman, because only in that situation will you bring forth fruit to perfection. Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you're in, divine love would have put you there. You're placed by God in the most suitable circumstances. Be content with such things as you have, since the Lord has ordered all things for your good. Take up your own daily cross; it's the burden best suited for your shoulder, & will prove most effective to make you perfect in every good word & work to the glory of God. Down busy self & proud impatience, it's not for you to choose, but for the Lord of Love!
“He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. Selah” (Psalm 47:4)
