The Wonders of His Providence

Do not judge divine providence in little pieces it is a grand mosaic, and must be seen as a whole.

The Lord's wisdom is seen in arranging the smallest events so as to produce great results. We frequently hear people say of a pleasant or a great event, "What a providence! This is the finger of God!" while they are silent as to anything which appears less important, or has an unpleasant savor.

But the place of the flower upon the hillside is as fixed as the station of a king! And the dust which is raised by a cart-wheel is as surely steered by divine providence as the planet in its orbit!

There is as much providence in the creeping of an insect upon a rose leaf as in the marching of an army to ravage a continent!

Everything, the most minute, as well as the most magnificent is ordered by the Lord who has prepared His throne in the heavens, whose kingdom rules over all.

Whatever the event may be, the attentive eye will as clearly see the Lord's providential hand.

I am sure that God is in the world, yes, and is at my own fireside, and in my chamber and manages my affairs, and orders all things for me, and for each one of His redeemed children. We need no miracles to convince us of His working, the wonders of His providence are as great marvels as miracles themselves.
