A WAY OF ESCAPE
space
space

IF escape is impossible, a man of faith resigns himself, and says, "The will of the Lord be done;" but if, on the contrary, the way of escape is open, a wise man escapes, and thanks the Lord that escape was possible. God's purpose in such things is so interwoven with and wrought out by surrounding circumstances, that a man of God -- committing his whole way to God in prayer, thanksgiving, and obedience -- takes the circumstances as the interpretation of the purpose, and acts freely within the latitude the law of God may allow in the given circumstances of each case. It is always lawful to escape from danger if we can do so without the sacrifice of duty.

ROBERT ROBERTS, The Ways of Providence, pages 184-185
