Welcome to Cornerstone's Devotion Page. GOD'S PROVIDENCE (taken from SANCTUARY by David Jeremiah) When Roger Williams arrived in the New World seeking religious liberty, he was opposed by some Puritans unfriendly to his views. Fleeing to Narragansett Bay, he purchased land and founded a settlement that later became the capital of Rhode Island. He named it Providence. It was a word, he felt, that ably described God's ordering and overruling of his life. We often find ourselves in difficult circumstances. But in both personal matters and global affairs, we can trust the overruling hand of our severign God who turns negatives into positives, valleys into hills, and questions into exclamation marks. We can trust the providence of Him who has promised to work all things together for good. Do you have a burden today? Worried about world events? Anxious about circumstances? A.W. Tozer wrote that the child of God travels in an appointed way. "Accidents may indeed appear to befall him," wrote Tozer, "but these evils will be so in appearance only and will seem evils only because we cannot read the secret script of God's providence." |
