A.W. Tozer stated, “What we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
The doctrine of God’s providence teaches that Christians are never the victim of blind forces; instead, everything that happens to a believer is divinely planned for one’s spiritual and eternal good (Rom. 8:28).
Accordingly, Puritans described providence as “a soft pillow for anxious heads.”
Savings Group Director Pastor Widmy Mervilus describes below God’s gracious providence on his most recent trip to Haiti:
When leaving Haitian customs for the training site, our motorcycle had a flat tire; thankfully, we were quite close to a tire shop. It was resolved quickly, and we resumed our journey. However, about 20 kilometers later, the motorcycle got a flat tire again. At that point, we were already running late to get to the site, so we decided to look for a place to leave the motorcycle and hire another motorcycle taxi to take us to our destination.
Occasionally, situations happen to us in life that we will never be able to understand until God shows us His hand working in our favor. Brethren, 10 kilometers later, we encountered a terrible accident where two trucks and a jeep collided. At that moment, we recognized that the hand of our God was working to free us from death itself.
We were late but arrived safely and experienced two days of wonderful fellowship and instruction. All honor and glory be given to our good God.
As we enter what traditionally can be the annual summer support slump for ministries, your continued prayer and financial partnership is both coveted and valued.
