 A providence is shaping our ends; a plan is developing in our lives; a supreme and loving Being is making all things work together for good. Author: F.B. Meyer |
| We begin life with the natural, next we come into the spiritual; but then, when we have truly received the kingdom of God and His righteousness, the natural is added to the spiritual, and we are able to receive the gifts of His providence and the blessings of life without becoming centered in them or allowing them to separate us from Him. Author: A.B. Simpson |
| Prayer is the way and means God has appointed for the communication of the blessings of His goodness to His people. Author: A.W. Pink |
| The vision of the Divine Presence ever takes the form which our circumstances most require. Author: Alexander MacLaren |
| The mystery of the universe, and the meaning of God's world, are shrouded in hopeless obscurity, until we learn to feel that all laws suppose a lawgiver, and that all working involves a Divine energy. Author: Alexander MacLaren |
| In the infinite wisdom of the Lord of all the earth, each event falls with exact precision into its proper place in the unfolding of His divine plan. Nothing, however small, however strange, occurs without His ordering, or without its particular fitness for its place in the working out of His purpose; and the end of all shall be the manifestation of His glory, and the accumulation of His praise. Author: B.B. Warfield |

| A firm faith in the universal providence of God is the solution of all earthly troubles. Author: B.B. Warfield |
| It is only when men associate with the wicked with the desire and purpose of doing them good, that they can rely upon the protection of God to preserve them from contamination. Author: Charles Hodge |
| Whatsoever is good for God's children they shall have it; for all is theirs to help them towards heaven; therefore if poverty be good they shall have it; if disgrace or crosses be good they shall have them; for all is ours to promote our greatest prosperity. Author: Richard Sibbes |
| The story of paradise lost becoming paradise regained is the story of God's grace bringing us from alienation from him to membership in his family. God's grace restores us to what Adam lost for us - sonship to the God who made us, loves us, and provides for us in every detail in life. Author: Sinclair B. Ferguson |
| Providence would seem to sleep unless faith and prayer awaken it. The disciples had but little faith in their Master's accounts, yet that little faith awakened him in a storm, and he relieved them. Unbelief doth only discourage God from showing his power in taking our parts. Author: Stephen Charnock |
| God will not lightly or easily lose His people. He has provided well for us: blood to wash us in; a Priest to pray for us, that we may be made to persevere; and, in case we foully fall, an Advocate to plead our cause. Author: John Bunyan
