For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith
—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
— not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9

Start Your Day
Off Right!
We set our eyes
not on what we see,
but on what we cannot see.
What we see
will only last a short time,
but what we cannot see
will last forever.

Isaiah 59-61

PASTOR'S PONDERING
What is Divine Providence?
The doctrine of divine providence can be summarized this way: “God in eternity past, in the counsel of His own will, ordained everything that will happen; yet in no sense is God the author of sin; nor is human responsibility removed.” The primary means by which God accomplishes His will is through secondary causes (e.g., laws of nature and human choice). In other words, God usually works indirectly to accomplish His will. God also sometimes works directly to accomplish His will. These works are what we call miracles. A miracle is God’s
circumventing, for a short period of time, the natural order of things to accomplish His will.
