The God You Can Trust
William Wyne
Psalms 139:1-5
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

Patton is a man of action, he is a man of influence, and he was one who took the initiative while others stood around deliberation options. But when he heard that his fate lay in the hands of Gen. Marshall, he calmed down. His reply to that was this: I know him, I know him personally, and I have watched him as a leader.
He's a good man; he said that about Marshall. At least he's a fair man. I'll let it sit with him.'' I will not make any calls, I will not call in any favors, and I'll just let it sit with him. Based on my knowledge of Gen. Marshall, and what I have known, I'll trust him to make the right and fair decision.
Whatever he decides, whomever he chooses, I trust him because he is a good man, h ...
