Look What Providence Has Gone and Done...

If "...something you feel distinctly before God is His will for you to do, never do it on the impulse of that feeling. If you do, you will end in making difficulties that will take years of time for you to put right. Wait for God's time to bring it round and He will do it without any heartache or disappointment. When it is a question of the providential will of God, wait for God to move."
-Oswald Chambers

"...the oddest thing- the way Providence manages..."

and...

"...a blizzard's the idea: pour down all the snow in stock, turn loose all the winds, bring a whole continent to a stand still: that is Provdence's idea of the correct way to trump a person's trick...
-Mark Twain

"Wouldn't a mere simple request from God to trust Him be sufficient? Is it absolutely necessary for Him to yank out of sight whatever we most prize, to drag us into spiritual traumas of the severest sort, to strip us naked in the winds of His purifying Spirit in order that we should learn to trust? But I am overreacting..." (in my opinion, she is telling the truth, it often seems that way when we are in those severe tests of trust that seem to be... is this wrong to say?... too severe... but, yes, maybe we are overreacting. Yet, only the Heart knows it's own pain...)

and... oh,...

"Look what Providence has gone and done..."
-Elisabeth Elliot
