Our Daily Bread
Just read a fine couple of quotes today on God’s sovereignty in our lives:
He chooses for his people better than they could choose for themselves.
If they are in heaviness, there is a need-be for it, and he withholds nothing from them but what, upon the whole, it is better they should be without.- from John Newton’s Works, vol. 1, p. 249 (Letter XVI, “On the Inefficacy of Our Knowledge)
I have not fallen into the hands of my enemies by chance, but by the providence of God.
- from Guido de Bres, author of the Belgic Confession, writing to his wife while he was imprisoned.
I could not help but recall these passages:
“Give us today our daily bread.”
“His divine power has given us everything we need.”
