J.A. Matteson
The providence of the LORD establishes His purposes toward man, and outcomes contrary to His design are frustrated. "The mind of man plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps" (Pv. 16:9). The LORD is sovereign and orchestrates events both great and small, and the sons of men cannot perceive His hand. The man who loves the LORD discerns His presence in all things and the utterance of his lips is praise continually to the glory of God. Commit your way to the LORD and rejoice in the providential working of His hand. The times and seasons of a mans life are ordained by the LORD. Blessed is the man who affirms God's sovereignty and rejoices in His wisdom.
