Amos 3:6 ~ [centered]

"Shall there be evil in a city
and the Lord hath not done it?"

~ [centered]

Becoming to recognize the
hand of God in all that occurs.

Providence is concerned in
all that transpires.

Gods [God's] agency may be direct –
& causative – or, indirect &
permissive; but in every case
is real. Second causes but
remove the case a farther back –
there all belongs to Him.
