A preacher tells of a day in the Alps. The morning was cold, foggy, and threatening, and the people told him as he set out, that Rigi would not unveil her glory in such a day, and that he had better not climb the mountain. Yet he went on, through mist and rain. He met tourists coming down disappointed because they had seen nothing. They urged him to turn back, but he would not do it. Up and up he still climbed, and at last the fog suddenly cleared, and the whole system of glorious mountains revealed themselves.
That is the story of all Christian life’s mysteries – rain, fog, darkness, for a time, and then light and blue sky, and splendor of revelation. “What I do,” said the Master, “thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.” Perfect, unquestioning trust is the way to peace. Do not wait to see – do not ask to see – but believe in God and be at peace.
