verse of the day

He is working behind the scenes. [ Psalm 96]

It is R. Fyall in his commentary on Ezra, states that the fundamental theological principle underlying this book,is providence and human responsibility.It is John Flavel who wrote a book called the mystery of providence,and this is a very important truth.Fyall writes,/providence is not visible in the way that human activity is.Outwardly nothing may appear to be happening,yet in His providence God is working behind the scenes./
    We live in a fallen world,a world that is in rebellion to God,all things have been affected by this,evil is ever at work,but so is God,who is sovereign
                             Hast thou not known,hast thou not heard,
                              That firm remains on high,
                              The everlasting throne of Him,
                              Who formed the earth and sky.?.
                              Art thou afraid,His power shall fail,
                              When comes the evil day?
                                Supreme in wisdom as in power,
                                The rock of ages stands,
                               Though Him thou canst not see,nor trace,
                               The working of His hands.
                                          [Isaac Watts]
                                         A prayer
Dear God we rest on You, our sovereign God, help us to not only to live,
by faith,but in that life of faith,to rest in Your providential sovereign purposes,in Jesus name. Amen .
