…for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption. – Psalm 130:7

I have too often heard Christian people talk about thanking Providence. What is that? Do you mean, “thank God”? If so, say it boldly! It is God that provides. God arranges, God overrules, God worketh out His gracious designs. Again, how often do we hear of “Nature” doing this, and “Nature” being that, and “Nature” producing the other! What do you mean? An infidel, some time ago, was speaking in the open-air, and he orated very eloquently about the elevating influences of nature, and what a blessing it was to study nature. A friend in the crowd said to him, “That is very pretty; but would you have the goodness to tell me what Nature is, which does all this?” The orator answered tartly, “Every fool knows what Nature is.” “Well,” said the questioner, “then it will be easy to tell us.” “Nature,” said the speaker, “Well: Nature is Nature.” Just so. That is where it ended. And so it is with very many people when they talk about Providence or Nature. Let us not speak without knowing what we mean, or without declaring our meaning. We do not erect an altar and inscribe it TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. We know the Lord, and are known of Him, and therefore we would speak of Him as our hope, our trust, our joy. We know no providence apart from Jehovah-Jireh, the God who foresees and provides. To us there is no fickle chance, but the Lord reigneth. Equally to us is that there is no blind, inexorable fate, but the Most High decrees and works out His wise and sovereign will. Therefore, do not let God’s Israel talk as if they hoped in luck or fate, but let them “hope in the Lord,” and avow their reliance upon a personal God, who is working for them evermore; “for with Him is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon
