Martin Luther on the Riches and Will of God and our Response

“How rich a God our God is! He gives enough, but we don’t notice it. He gave the whole world to Adam, but this was nothing in Adam’s eyes; he was concerned about the one tree and had to ask why God had forbidden him to eat of it. That’s the way it is today too. God has given us enough to learn in his revealed Word, but we let this go and look for his hidden will without being able to find it. It serves us right if we are crushed as a consequence.” – Between September 2 and 17, 1540
