Providence ( Revelation 1 v 18 )



                                  A man who survived an ordeal in the Amazon  rainforest  said ,''Every
                                  day I could have died; That I lived wasn't prowess, it was simply
                                  Providence''. Now I am not sure what he meant by this, Hitler used
                                  term Providence,but again what did he mean by that?. When I think of
                                  Providence I am speaking about Gods ruling over all the affairs of life..
                                  Louis Berkhof wrote, ''This may be defined as that work of God in which
                                  He preserves all His creatures, is active in  all that happens in the world
                                  and directs all things to their appointed end ''. Psalm 36 v6b , reads
                                   ''O Jehovah , thou preservest man and be . Someone I know who is  sixty
                                 said she did not think she would live until she was 20th, but she did ,by
                                 Gods Providence,not by her prowess,meaning not by her courage, guts ,
                                 ability,etc .
                                                                    A Prayer
                                          Dear God we rejoice that in your providence
                                          you have preserved us,and will continue to
                                          watch over us ,until that moment comes for us
                                         your children ,to be called home in Jesus name
                                         we thank you and praise you .
                                                                    Amen.
