I'm going down the home stretch reading The Mystery of Providence, by John Flavel. The book really makes me stop and think.
I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts regarding God's providence and how believing in God's providence affects you as a Christian? Can you think of any examples of God's providence in your life?
As I think about God's providence, there's sort of a feeling of rest that comes over me - a confirmation that God is in control and there's nothing to worry about.
Psa 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I need to spend more time considering how God's providence has been revealed in my life, but the first thing that comes to mind is God's providence in saving me. Its interesting to think about all the different Christians I met along the way who shared scriptures with me and demonstrated by their life style what Jesus can do in a person's life.
Hind sight is neat when thinking about God's providence, but what would be even neater is to recognize God's providence daily. It really boggles my mind to think of God controlling events and people the way He does to accomplish his purposes.
