“My Hand is on the Wheel”

The coming of the Lord is nearer than when we first believed. What a wonderful thought it is that the great controversy is nearing its end! In the closing work we shall meet with perils that we know not how to deal with; but let us not forget that the three great powers of heaven are working, that a divine hand is on the wheel, and that God will bring His purposes to pass. He will gather from the world a people who will serve Him in righteousness. 2SM 391.3

Fearful perils are before those who bear responsibilities in the Lord's work—perils the thought of which makes me tremble. But the word comes, “My hand is on the wheel, and in My providence I will carry out the divine plan.”—The Review and Herald, May 5, 1903. 2SM 391.4
