How His ways are shown out in Hos. 14; and how He lets them know where alone they will grow, namely, in His presence! They will confess their sin and their weakness: He says, " I will be as the dew in Israel," then " he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon; his branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon." May we be among the wise to understand these things, and know them! 35
