Thanks, Robert for posting an excerpt from A W Pink's Sovereignty of God.
You brought my mind back to about 40 years ago when I read that book and
how the Lord used it to open my eyes. I had been travelling around in
various religious circles and that book put me on a clear and straight path
forward to Sovereign Grace in our Lord Jesus Christ. Many writings,
messages and brethren have helped me along the way.

I ran across the following excerpt from the book *The Sovereignty of God*,
by Arthur W. Pink, and found it beneficial. Perhaps you will also.
A true recognition of God’s sovereignty will avow God’s perfect right to
do with us as He wills. The one who bows to the pleasure of the Almighty
will acknowledge His absolute right to do with us as seemeth Him good. If
He chooses to send poverty, sickness, domestic bereavements, even while the
heart is bleeding at every pore, it will say, “Shall not the Judge of all
the earth do right!” Often there will be a struggle, for the carnal mind
remains in the believer to the end of his earthly pilgrimage. But though
there may be a conflict within his breast, nevertheless, to the one who has
really yielded himself to this blessed truth there will presently be heard
that Voice saying, as of old it said to the turbulent Gennesaret, “Peace be
still;” and the tempestuous flood within will be quieted and the subdued
soul will lift a tearful but confident eye to Heaven and say, “Thy will be
done.”
Arthur W. Pink, in *The Sovereignty of God*
