“Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do [God’s] will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.”

The beginning of the story of Samson:
So the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A Man of God came to me, and His countenance was like the countenance of the Angel of God, very awesome; but I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me His name. 7 And He said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Now drink no wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’
“The night has long been on its way, and the day has arrived. Therefore, let us at once and once for all put off the works of the darkness, and let us at once and once for all clothe ourselves with the weapons of the light.”
“O the depth of the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God. How unsearchable are His judgments, and how untraceable the paths He takes; for whoever knew the Lord’s mind? or who became His counsellor? or who has previously given to Him and it will be recompensed to him? Because out from Him and through Him and for Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.”
Romans 11
God is constantly rich:
“For there is not a distinction between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is over all, constantly rich toward all those who call upon Him. For whoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10
“For I have come through a process of persuasion to the settled conclusion that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things about to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8
