A 'god' who's will is resisted, designs frustrated, and purpose checkmated, possesses no title to Deity.
Arthur W. PinkPrayer is not appointed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to Him of our sense of the need. In this, as in everything, God's thoughts are not as ours. God requires that His gifts should be sought for. He designs to be honoured by our asking, just as He is to be thanked by us after He has bestowed His blessing.
Arthur W. PinkChastisement is designed for our good, to promote our highest interests. Look beyond the rod to the All-wise hand that wields it!
