The sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. (2 Kings 6:1)
The children which thou shalt have … shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell. Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these? … And who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone. (Isa. 49:20‑21)
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. (1 John 2:14)
For, like loving, earthly parents,
   He rejoices when He knows
That His child accepts unquestioned
   All that from His wisdom flows.
Well He knows each broken purpose
   Leads to fuller, deeper trust;
And the end of all His dealings
   Proves our God is wise and just.
