There are many who become restless when they cannot know the definite outcome of affairs.They cannot endure uncertainty, and in their impatience they refuse to wait to see the salvation of God.Apprehended evils drive them nearly distracted.They give way to their rebellious feelings, and run hither and thither in passionate grief, seeking intelligence concerning that which has not been revealed.If they would but trust in God, and watch unto prayer, they would find divine consolation.Their spirit would be calmed by communion with God.The weary and the heavy-laden would find rest unto their souls if they would only go to Jesus; but when they neglect the means that God has ordained for their comfort, and resort to other sources, hoping to learn what God has withheld, they commit the error of Saul, and thereby gain only a knowledge of evil.28Patriarchs and Prophets, 686, 687.
