Providence
What does God's Providence tell us? Providence tells me that the God who
created the world is still personally involved in maintaining it and
sustaining it. Jesus Christ is “upholding the universe by His word of
power” (Heb.1:3), that He is holding all of creation together
(Col.1:17). If Jesus Christ would stop His continuing activity of
sustaining all things in the universe, then everything except the triune
God would instantly cease to exist. Providence tells me that God “Accomplishes
all things according to the counsel of His will” (Eph. 1:11). Chance or
fate have nothing to do with what takes place in this world or in my
life. God causes the rain to fall, He causes the grass to grow (Psa.
104:14). God feeds all the animals (Psa. 104:27-29), Jesus said “look at
the birds of the air. . .your Heavenly Father feeds them” (Matt.10:29).
Providence tells me that God “rules over the nations” (Psa. 22:28), “He
made from one every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth,
having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their
habitation” (Acts 17:26). When King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon repented
of his pride he praised the Most High and said, “For His dominion is an
everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to
generation; all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing;
and He does according to His will in the host of heaven and among the
inhabitants of the earth, and none can stay His hand or say to Him, what
are you doing?” (Daniel 4:34-35).
This is our God, this is my God, this is the God who saves.

The Gift Of Music
Heres a word to go to sleep on or to get up to:“The devil, the
originator of sorrowful anxieties and restless troubles, flees before
the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God....Music is a
gift and grace of God, not an invention of men. Thus it drives out the
devil and makes people cheerful. Then one forgets all wrath, impurity,
and other devices.” Martin Luther
This is why I love music all music. I thank God for the ability to play music, let your heart rejoice at the gift of music.
