Encouraging Our Trust

From William Gurnall, The Christian in Complete Armor, vol. 1, page 47:

To encourage our trust, the Lord often intervenes in mighty ways on behalf of His people. Sometimes He allows an opposing force to arise, so that at precisely the right moment He can raise up a more magnificent pillar of remembrance to Himself. This pillar will stand in the very ruins of that which contested His power. Thus, when He intervenes all must say, 'Almighty power was here!'
