I was reading Noel Piper’s blog today (which I didn’t know existed before today), and came across a post which really made me think about the awesome power and sovereignty of God. Her words humbled me as I thought about God’s provision and protection in my life and how ungrateful I am for it.
The post is about how she was in a car crash and how perfect God’s protection was. Most would call it coincidence…. I would call it God’s providence! The quote that that jumped out to me the most was… “I pray that my children would recognize God’s loving precision, even if they were at the mortuary right now.”
What an influence we could have in this world if we all trusted in the divine control of our King!
You have to read the post…its awesome read here

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ, and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. (Ephesians 2:1-10)
