The Mystery Of Providence

by John Flavel

Providence, which is nothing else but the performance of God’s gracious purposes and promises to His people.

The Protestants besieged in Beziers in France are delivered by a drunken drummer who, going to his quarters at midnight, rang the alarm-bell of the town, not knowing what he did; and just then their enemies were making their assault. And as weak and improbable means have been blessed with success to the Church in general, so to the preservation of its particular members also.
