iii. 18{ Thus David overlooked Shimei, and looked to God in the matter of his cursing, as one fixing his eyes, not on the axe, but on him that wielded it. Here two things are to come into our consideration.
1st. The decree of God, purposing that crook for us from eternity ; " for he worketh all things after the counsel of his own will," Eph. i. 11, the sealed book, in which are written all the black lines that make the crook. Whatever valleys of darkness, grief, and sorrow, we are carried throu...gh, we are to look on them as made by the mountains of brass, the immovable divine purposes, Zech..
vi. 1. This can be no presumption in that case, if we carry it no further than the event goes in our sight and feeling : for so far the book is opened for us to look into.
2dly. The providence of God bringing to pass that crook for us in time. Amos iii. 6. There is nothing can befall us without him in whom we live.
Whatever kind of agency of the creatures may be in the making of our crook, whatever they have done or not done towards it, he is the spring that sets all the created wheels in motion, which ceas- ing, they would all stop : though he is still infinite- ly pure in his agency, however impure they be in theirs.
