Nothing whatever, whether great or small, can happen to a believer, without God’s ordering and permission. There is no such thing as “chance,” “luck” or “accident” in the Christian’s journey through this world. All is arranged and appointed by God. And all things are “working together” for the believer’s good.

My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.

We failed, but in the good providence of God apparent failure often proves a blessing.

It is easier to discover a deficiency in individuals, in states, and in Providence, than to see their real import and value.

By the all-powerful dispensations of Providence I have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me!

The foundation of a great Empire is laid, and I please myself with a persuasion, that Providence will not leave its work imperfect.

When you have made your choice, it is providence that is your guide. Good, bad, or indifferent. Your fate lies in that.
