Even though the world is upside down...

"Upstarts frequently usurp the highest places, while the truly great pine in obscurity. The world is upside down, and therefore, the first are last and the last first . . . This is a riddle in providence whose solution will one day gladden the hearts of the upright. Patience, believer; eternity will right the wrongs of time . . . We were not new created to allow our passions to rule over us, but that we, as kings, may reign in Christ Jesus over the triple kingdom of our spirit, soul, and body. Let us not disturb the divine arrangement, but ask for grace that we may keep ourselves under subjection to our great King." --C.H. Spurgeon (edited), MORNING AND EVENING
