There are times and places where God will form a mysterious wall around us and cut away all props, and all the ordinary ways of doing things and shut us up to something Divine, which is utterly new and unexpected, something that old circumstances do not fit into, where we do not know just what will happen, where God is cutting the cloth of our lives on a new pattern, where He makes us look to Himself.
Most religious people live in a sort of treadmill life, where they can calculate almost everything that will happen, but the souls that God leads out into immediate and special dealings He shuts in while all they know is that God has hold of them, and is dealing with them and their expectation is from Him alone.
