In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of
him who works all things after the counsel of his own will. Ephesians 1:11
We are constantly ensnared by looking at secondary causes--we do not realize God in everything.
Were we more alive to the fact that there is not an event which happens to us, from morning to night,
in which the voice of our Father may not be heard, His hand seen, with what a blessed atmosphere
would surround us! Man and circumstances would then be received as so many agents and instruments in our Father's hand; so many ingredients in His cup for us. Thus would our minds be solemnized, our spirits calmed, our hearts subdued.
