God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.

Summary

This quote suggests that God purposely left certain resources untapped in the world, such as electricity and oil, to allow humans to develop their skills and knowledge. It also highlights how often people only turn to God as a last resort when they have exhausted all other options. However, the quote suggests that sometimes the challenges and difficulties in life actually guide individuals towards the ultimate destination they desire, showing that relying on God can lead to unexpected blessings and guidance.
