My Utmost For His Highest
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)

My thoughts
One of the greatest and most essential attributes of God is His sovereignty, God rules over all things and controls all things. God also uses providence to accomplish His will in the world. You won't find the word providence in the Bible. It's like the word Trinity. God directs and uses events to accomplish His own Will which meant: "the providence of God." Romans 8:28 says, "We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." All things are controlled by God to work together to fulfill His eternal purpose for His Will. When you can't explain the trouble you're experiencing, you need to understand the providential power of a sovereign God who controls everything in the universe for our good and His glory. Everything that happens in your life (including trials) somehow fits into the plan of God. God wants us to be busy rejoicing in the gracious prospect of all opportunities of God's will. Providential of God leads us to what we call "coincidences" in their lives which perhaps God will make sure that His wills will be done at His right time and place.
