God’s favour helpful to prosperity
When I resided in a wooded part of Scotland, I used to notice that the trees nearest the light at the edge of a dense forest had larger branches than those in the interior, andthat the same tree would throw out a long branch towards the light and a short one towards the dark recess of the forest. (J. Thain Davidson, D. D.)
God’s blessing is necessary to prosperity
Ifwe turn to Him, and become recipients of His grace, then will our talents and faculties develop, and be used in the right direction.
