Okay, Fred, Matt, et al....
Do you have a moment to recap and comment on what is the Biblical notion of Providence (as a Reformed catagory) and what a Christian coming out of the Arminian, semi-Pelagian field, traveling to the Reformed camp is to make of interpreting God's will - when, perhaps, they've been used to "looking for signs" of God guiding them. (Remember that awful teaching by Henry Blackaby - "Experiencing God"?)
How should we view God's overall governing of our lives -- if we can't interpret events as being signs of God "speaking" to us? Am I to wait for a "sign" so I can switch jobs; marry somebody; decide which cheesecake to buy?
Help, please....
