Enoch Roden's Training

Enoch Roden began his apprenticeship in printing with a bad accident, but as the story progresses, his training becomes more spiritual. Mr. Drury, his boss, trusted in God’s provision for his business but when business went bad, it led to confession of his faults. Enoch questioned his attitude of despising God’s daily gifts, thinking he was in rebellion like the Israelites. Trusting God’s providence when it doesn’t seem like He is paying attention is a training many go through. An important verse is Psalm 37:7—“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him.”
