Puritan Gems

As God delights in his own beauty, he must necessarily delight in the creature's holiness which is a conformity to and participation of it, as truly as the brightness of a jewel, held in the sun's beams, is a participation or derivation of the sun. – JONATHAN EDWARDS

Providence

When trials come our way, it is very tempting to question the providence of God. For example, it would be very easy for a military veteran who was recently laid off to ask why? This trained paramedic lost his job in Illinois, moved to Colorado, and had to get a job "delivering pizzas to make ends meet". Why?

Perhaps this may give us some insight...

Colorado man delivers pizza and saves heart attack victim

I don't know the faith of anyone involved in this incident, nor will I suggest that God's reason for this trial has met it's ultimate purpose.  But I will suggest that the Linn family is very thankful that Christopher Wuebben got laid off as a paramedic.

When we look over our life and experiences, we often see God's hand. That gives us strength to go on and to keep trusting Him.
