Every minuscule circumstance
is ordered by the Lord and forms a link in the chain of His unerring
providence. By Charles Simeon. Are not two
sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall
to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even
the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matthew chapter
10 verses 29 to 30. Many events appear to us as accidental
and trifling, but the truth is that not one is accidental, not
one is trifling. Every minuscule circumstance
is ordered by the Lord and forms a link in the chain of His unerring
providence. Not a hair of our head falls
but by His appointment. It remains our duty to mark His
providential dealings with care and improve them with diligence.
Let any whose minds have been opened to spiritual realities
and whose souls have been liberated from spiritual bondage, look
back and see the way by which they have been brought to the
obtaining of these marvellous mercies, and they shall find
such a mysterious chain of causes and effects as will furnish them
with matter of astonishment to all eternity. Wonderful are the
ways whereby God accomplishes His own eternal counsels.
