The Mystery of Providence
by John Flavel
John Flavel's classic meditation on Psalm 57:2, 'God that performeth all things for me.' It teaches believers to observe, trust, and record God's providential dealings through every stage of life, arguing that reflection on past providences fuels present faith and future hope.
Based on The Mystery of Providence (1678), by John Flavel
From the book
In John Flavel's own words
“It is the duty of the saints, especially in times of straits, to reflect upon the performances of Providence for them in all the states and through all the stages of their lives.”
“Providence neither does nor can do any thing that is really against the true interest and good of the saints.”
“A wise Spirit sitting in all the wheels of motion, and governing the most eccentric creatures and their most pernicious designs to blessed and happy issues.”
