Those who understand God's sovereignty have joy even in the midst of suffering, a joy reflected on their very faces, for they see that their suffering is not without purpose. ~ R.C. Sproul
Providence Of God quotes by R.C. Sproul
The sun was shining, but Christ had hidden Himself, and all the world was black to you; or it was night, and since the bright and morning star was gone, no other star could yield you so much as a ray of light. What a howling wilderness is this world without our Lord! If once He hideth Himself from us, withered are the flowers of our garden; our pleasant fruits decay; the birds suspend their songs, and a tempest overturns our hopes. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Providence Of God quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
That's what the family is for,' he said. 'Calvin says it is the Providence of God that we look after those nearest to us. So it is the will of God that we help our brothers, and it is equally the will of God that we accept their help and receive the blessing of it. As if it came from the Lord Himself. Which it does. So I want you boys to promise me that you will help each other. ~ Marilynne Robinson
Providence Of God quotes by Marilynne Robinson
The wise providence of God orders our affairs in many different ways and lovingly bestows on each one of us what is appropriate and profitable both for virtuous deeds and the mysteries of faith. ~ Gregory Palamas
Providence Of God quotes by Gregory Palamas
The Providence of God is the great protector of our life and usefulness, and under the divine care we are perfectly safe from danger. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Providence Of God quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Faith is not to believe
Or pray that Providence
Will help a chieve
Anything we want,
But to liv e
With confidence
That God will do for us
Everything we need. ~ Ana Claudia Antunes
Providence Of God quotes by Ana Claudia Antunes
Behold, now, another providence of God. A ship comes into the harbor. ~ William Bradford
Providence Of God quotes by William Bradford
Navarette, a Chinese missionary, agrees with Leibniz and says that It is the special providence of God that the Chinese did not know what was done in Christendom; for if they did, there would be never a man among them, but would spit in our faces. ~ Matthew Tindal
Providence Of God quotes by Matthew Tindal
The god of the world is the gold and the silver. The world worships this god. It is all-powerful to them, though they might not be willing to acknowledge it. Now, it is designed, in the providence of God, that the Latter-day Saints should show whether they have so far advanced in the knowledge, in the wisdom and in the power of God that they cannot be overcome by the god of the world. We must come to that point. We have also got to reach another standard, a higher plane: we have got to love God more than we love the world, more than we love gold or silver, and love our neighbor as ourselves ~ Lorenzo Snow
Providence Of God quotes by Lorenzo Snow
God's Providence controls the universe. It is present everywhere. Providence is the sovereign Logos of God, imprinting form on the unformed materiality of the world, making and fashioning all things. Matter could not have acquired an articulated structure were it not for the directing power of the Logos Who is the Image, Intellect, Wisdom, and Providence of God. ~ Anthony The Great
Providence Of God quotes by Anthony The Great
It seemed intended by the blessed providence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank him for the dispensation. If perfect earthly sight were offered me tomorrow I would not accept it. I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been distracted by the beautiful and interesting things about me. ~ Fanny Crosby
Providence Of God quotes by Fanny Crosby
God has made the Universe and all that is in it, can He ever fail to give us anything that we ask of Him today? ~ Jocelyn Soriano
Providence Of God quotes by Jocelyn Soriano
Our movement was a great success; I think the most successful military movement of my life. But I expect to receive more credit for it than I deserve. Most men will think I planned it all from the first; but it was not so. I simply took advantage of circumstances as they were presented to me in the providence of God. I feel that His hand led me - let us give Him the glory. ~ Stonewall Jackson
Providence Of God quotes by Stonewall Jackson
The providence of God is subordinate to creation; and it is, therefore, necessary that it should not impinge against creation, which it would do, were it to inhibit or hinder the use of free will in man ... ~ Jacobus Arminius
Providence Of God quotes by Jacobus Arminius
There is a certain destiny of everything, regulated by the foreknowledge and providence of God in His works. ~ Gottfried Leibniz
Providence Of God quotes by Gottfried Leibniz
Necessity hath no law. Feigned necessities, imaginary necessities, are the greatest cozenage men can put upon the Providence of God, and make pretences to break known rules by. ~ Oliver Cromwell
Providence Of God quotes by Oliver Cromwell
A firm faith in the universal providence of God is the solution of all earthly troubles. ~ B. B. Warfield
Providence Of God quotes by B. B. Warfield
If you'd rather watch your kids grow up than see the face of your Savior today, you don't grasp the beauty of God. If you worry about what would happen to your children if you were gone, you don't understand the providence of God. ~ Francis Chan
Providence Of God quotes by Francis Chan
When you lie down on your bed to sleep, remember with thanksgiving the blessings and the providence of God. ~ Anthony The Great
Providence Of God quotes by Anthony The Great
...this insolence was turned by the providence of God to a very different purpose; for the face of Christ, dishonoured by spitting and blows, has restored to us that image which had been disfigured, and almost effaced, by sin. ~ John Calvin
Providence Of God quotes by John Calvin
The antidote to busyness of soul is not sloth and indifference. The antidote is rest, rhythm, death to pride, acceptance of our own finitude, and trust in the providence of God. ~ Kevin DeYoung
Providence Of God quotes by Kevin DeYoung
Christian faith undercuts the urge to fix everything on our own, through conviction of the final helplessness of man and confidence in the providence of God
through certainty that only God can set everything to rights, and faith that in the end, He will. Man can only ameliorate, not cure. ~ J. Budziszewski
Providence Of God quotes by J. Budziszewski
You do not have opportunities for influence by accident. God-given opportunities bring God-intended responsibilities. Do all the good you can wherever God puts you. Apply this to your situation among family members, your neighbors, and your coworkers. ~ Layton Talbert
Providence Of God quotes by Layton Talbert
God rules and governs all events, including the free acts of men and their external circumstances, and directs all things to their appointed ends for His glory. ~ Layton Talbert
Providence Of God quotes by Layton Talbert
That by the decrees and volitions, and consequently the providence of God, Scripture (as I will prove by Scriptural examples) means nothing but Nature's order following necessarily from her eternal laws. ~ Baruch Spinoza
Providence Of God quotes by Baruch Spinoza
God knows that some of the greatest souls who have ever lived are those who will never appear in the chronicles of history. They are the blessed, humble souls who emulate the Savior's example and spend the days of their lives doing good. ~ Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Providence Of God quotes by Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The gnostic is Muslim in that his whole being is surrendered to God; he has no separate individual existence of his own. He is like the birds and the flowers in his yielding to the Creator; like them, like all the elements of the cosmos, he reflects the Divine to his own degree. He reflects it actively, however, they passively; his participation is a conscious one. ~ Seyyed Hossein Nasr
Providence Of God quotes by Seyyed Hossein Nasr
I don't know where I would be without music. Even if I wasn't a musician, I think music is God. In a lot of ways, it's my saving grave. It's been my religion since I was a little kid. ~ Allie Gonino
Providence Of God quotes by Allie Gonino
My life was definitely going into a nosedive. When my parents separated (and) divorced when I was fifteen, I definitely lost my bearings and was completely out of control. My grades were plummeting. I had no direction. I was a pretty angry teenager (and) somewhat destructive. So, I broke down in a church when I was 18 and turned my life over to God, thankfully. ~ Michael Landon, Jr.
Providence Of God quotes by Michael Landon, Jr.
God has been described by all the scriptures of the world as protector and saviour of the sinner. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Providence Of God quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
We could scrub the floor for a tired friend, or dress a wound for a patient in a hospital, or lay the table and wash up for the family; but we shall not do it in martyr spirit or with that worse spirit of self-congratulation, of feeling that we are making ourselves more perfect, more unselfish, more positively kind.

We shall do it just for one thing, that our hands make Christ's hands in our life, that our service may let Christ serve through us, that our patience may bring Christ's patience back to the world. ~ Caryll Houselander
Providence Of God quotes by Caryll Houselander
The moment you begin to believe you're worthy of the good things in your life - God gets all Old Testament on your ass and does something vicious, something insane, something totally uncalled for. He gives you lupus or He allows Satan to slaughter your children and cattle or He delivers Ohio to George W. Bush. ~ Dan Savage
Providence Of God quotes by Dan Savage
The possibilities of prayer are found in its allying itself with the purposes of God, for God's purposes and man's praying are the combination of all potent and omnipotent forces. ~ Edward McKendree Bounds
Providence Of God quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
It was made clear to me that I wasn't supposed to trouble the moody Creator with any pesky questions about the eccentricities of His cosmic system ... Thus my idea of heaven was that I got to spend eternity sitting at the feet of God, grilling Him. "Let me get this straight," I'd say, by way of introduction. "It's your position that every person born has to suffer because Eve couldn't resist a healthy between-meals snack? ~ Sarah Vowell
Providence Of God quotes by Sarah Vowell
There was someone sitting in his room, over on that chair -
"Are you kidding me?" He exhaled a curse and rubbed the back of his brain. "Really? Are you fucking kidding me?"
Across the way, like some fucked-up scarecrow, a pair of blue jeans, that Nirvana concert T-shirt of the angel's, the flannel bullshit, and a set of Nikes had been stuffed with God only knew what. The head of the "Lassiter" was made out of a nylon bag that had had potatoes in it, and the black and yellow hair was a collection of knee-high business socks - probably Butch's - and Swiffer cleaning rags that had been safety pinned in place.
Around its neck? A handwritten sign that read: the boss was here. ~ J.R. Ward
Providence Of God quotes by J.R. Ward
If God opens the door for you to do something you know is good or necessary, be thankful for the opportunity. But other than that, don't assume that the relative ease or difficulty of a new situation is God's way of telling you to do one thing or the other. Remember, God's will for your life is sanctification, and God tends to use discomfort and trials more than comfort and ease to make us holy. ~ Kevin DeYoung
Providence Of God quotes by Kevin DeYoung
Jesus turned the list of hundreds and hundreds of don'ts into three simple do's. Love God, love your neighbors, and love yourself; do this and all the other laws will fall into place. ~ Paul D. Meier
Providence Of God quotes by Paul D. Meier
The ultimate goal of all of life is to know and love God, make him known, and thereby glorify him. ~ Erik Thoennes
Providence Of God quotes by Erik Thoennes
We look for evidence of the divine and we find it in nature, in art, in literature, in music in film, so, rather than fear the surrounding culture, and the surrounding cities which predictably results in a bunker mentality the emerging congregation embraces the culture and expects to find God in it the emerging congregation embraces the culture recognizing that its not all pretty but it embraces the culture and even then expects to find god in it because there is nowhere god isn't. there are many places where the church isn't but I don't think that means there are places where god isn't. ~ John Middendorf
Providence Of God quotes by John Middendorf
You"-he extended both hands in her direction, vaguely cupped-"had breasts. I"-he slapped his palms to his chest-"had erections."
She blinked. "What?"
For the love of God. "When a man is aroused, his- ~ Tessa Dare
Providence Of God quotes by Tessa Dare
In Christianity, God has promised to avenge attacks against His people. We trust the One who said, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay" (Romans 12:19 KJV) - but to the Muslim mind, this makes us look like cowards. In Islam, it's the opposite: the people are commanded to punish insults to the honor of Allah and Muhammad. ~ Michael Youssef
Providence Of God quotes by Michael Youssef
The Zankli Sacred Prayer: Oh God, I bring before you your children you have gifted with the light. Bring unto them what is yours to give, your to provide, and yours to understand. Bless them with the joy of goodness, and deliver unto them longevity, wisdom and foresight. ~ M.J. Duff
Providence Of God quotes by M.J. Duff
My God, a whole moment of happiness! Is that too little for the whole of a man's life? ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Providence Of God quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Religions do a useful thing: they narrow God to the limits of man. Philosophy replies by doing a necessary thing: it elevates man to the plane of God. ~ Victor Hugo
Providence Of God quotes by Victor Hugo
Only redeemed children of God can become redeemers for their people ~ Sunday Adelaja
Providence Of God quotes by Sunday Adelaja
You might get up in the morning and do your devotions and say a few prayers and there you go. You think you've done your connecting for the day. But you don't know how to wait before the Lord and really stop and hear from the Lord or dig deeper and walk throughout the day with the Lord. It's like sending a quick Tweet or checking your Facebook page real quick. "Hey Lord, what's going on?" But you're missing the intimacy of, "Be still and know that I am God." ~ Jeremy Camp
Providence Of God quotes by Jeremy Camp
About Thomas Hobbes: He was 40 years old before he looked on geometry; which happened accidentally. Being in a gentleman's library, Euclid's Elements lay open, and "twas the 47 El. libri I" [Pythagoras' Theorem]. He read the proposition "By God", sayd he, "this is impossible:" So he reads the demonstration of it, which referred him back to such a proposition; which proposition he read. That referred him back to another, which he also read. Et sic deinceps, that at last he was demonstratively convinced of that truth. This made him in love with geometry. ~ John Aubrey
Providence Of God quotes by John Aubrey
God help me, I'm gonna make sure we get out of this alive and I'm going to kill that son of a bitch ... I'm gonna make him wish he never stepped foot in this town -Emerson Shaw ~ Justin Bienvenue
Providence Of God quotes by Justin Bienvenue
God ... God ... dear Father in heaven, I'm not a praying man, but if you're up there and you can hear me, show me the way. I'm at the end of my rope. Show me the way, God ... ~ George Bailey
Providence Of God quotes by George Bailey
Let nothing disturb you, / Nothing dismay you; / All things are passing: / God never changes. ~ Teresa Of Avila
Providence Of God quotes by Teresa Of Avila
The God Thou servest is thine own appetite, wherein is fixed the love of Beelzebub. To Him I'll build an altar and a church, and offer lukewarm blood of new-born babes. ~ Christopher Marlowe
Providence Of God quotes by Christopher Marlowe
He who has spent billions on churches, on mosques and on every kind of sanctuaries is guilty of not giving that money to the science! The path of sanctuary does not lead to God; the path of the faith does not lead to God; only the path of science leads to God! The bridge between man and the unknown God is not worshipping but it is science, only the science! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Providence Of God quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
We would either have a silent, a soft, a perfumed cross, sugared and honeyed with the consolations of Christ, or we faint; and providence must either brew a cup of gall and wormwood, mastered in the mixing with joy and songs, else we cannot be disciples. But Christ's cross did not smile on him, his cross was a cross, and his ship sailed in blood, and his blessed soul was sea-sick, and heavy even to death. ~ Samuel Rutherford
Providence Of God quotes by Samuel Rutherford
Spirituality is not something that comes through one encounter with God. It is the result of choosing the way of self denial and doing God's will consistently day after day, week after week and year after year. ~ Zac Poonen
Providence Of God quotes by Zac Poonen
The conservatives won. They turned the Democrats into a center-right party. They got the entire country singing 'God Bless America,' stress on God, at every single major-league baseball game. They won on every fucking front, but they especially won culturally, and especially regarding babies. In 1970 it was cool to care about the planet's future and not have kids. Now the one thing everyone agrees on, right and left, is that it's beautiful to have a lot of babies. The more the better. Kate Winslet is pregnant, hooray hooray. Some dimwit in Iowa just had octuplets, hooray hooray. The conversation about the idiocy of SUV's stops dead the minute people say they're buying them to protect their precious babies. (221) ~ Jonathan Franzen
Providence Of God quotes by Jonathan Franzen
1. Today's reading gives us surprising news: our longing for perfection is not a fault but something that God has planted in every one of us. Since this desire for perfection is strong, we may end up seeking to fill it through trying to improve ourselves in some way, either physically, intellectually, or through doing for others. When this happens, we unintentionally create idols in pursuit of these goals. What are some areas where we try to attain perfection in our lives? Could some of these areas become idols to us? 2. Psalm 37:4 tells us, "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." What desires does your heart want that might bring you true perfection in Christ, rather than the false perfection you often seek in your life? 3. Looking back on your life, what events or occurrences do you see as evidence of God bringing you closer to Him, or perfecting you in your walk with Him? ~ Sarah Young
Providence Of God quotes by Sarah Young
If you are striving to have a stable success and riches in joy, you need to be truly dedicated to God ~ Sunday Adelaja
Providence Of God quotes by Sunday Adelaja
It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us. ~ Peter De Vries
Providence Of God quotes by Peter De Vries
To me, relationship is sacred because the spirit of God is manifest in empathic connection. ~ Helen LaKelly Hunt
Providence Of God quotes by Helen LaKelly Hunt
Christian spirituality involves a transformation of the self that occurs only when God and self are both deeply known. Both, therefore, have an important place in Christian spirituality. There is no deep knowing of God without a deep knowing of self, and no deep knowing of self without a deep knowing of God. John Calvin wrote, "Nearly the whole of sacred doctrine consists in these two parts: knowledge of God and of ourselves."3 ~ David G. Benner
Providence Of God quotes by David G. Benner
