All the wants which disturb human life, which make us uneasy to ourselves, quarrelsome with others, and unthankful to God, which weary us in vain labors and foolish anxieties, which carry us from project to project, from place to place in a poor pursuit of we don’t know what, are the wants which neither God nor nature, nor reason hath subjected us to, but are solely infused into us by pride, envy, ambition, and covetousness.

William Law

“Can you search out the deep things of God?  Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?  They are higher than heaven—what can you do?  Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?  Their measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea.”

Job 11:7-9
The New King James Version

A woman passenger on an airliner was sitting next to a clergyman.  She became increasingly nervous as the jet ran into thunder squalls and began to be buffeted by severe downdrafts and crosswinds.  After one particularly alarming air pocket that must had dropped the plane several hundred feet, the woman looked at the minister and said, “Please sir, can’t you do something that will stop this storm and save our lives?”  “I’m sorry, madam,” he replied, “but I’m connected with sales, not with management.”
