Buku The Mystery of Providence – John Flavel

Do  we believe that everything in the world and in our own lives down to  the minutest details is ordered by the providence of God? Do we ever  take time to observe and meditate on the workings of Providence? If not,  are we missing much?

It should be a delight and pleasure to us to  discern how God works all things in the world for His own glory and His  people’s good. But it should be an even greater pleasure to observe the  particular designs of Providence in our own lives. ‘O, what a world of  rarities’, says John Flavel, ‘are to be found in Providence…With what  profound wisdom, infinite tenderness, and incessant vigilance it has  managed all that concerns us from first to last’. It was to persuade  Christians of the excellency of observing and meditating upon this that  Flavel first published his Mystery of Providence in 1678.

Since  then the work has gone through many editions. Based on the words ‘God  that performeth all things for me’ (Ps. 57 v 2) this work shows us how  Providence works for us in every stage and experience of our lives. The  book is richly illustrated from the lives of believers and from the  author’s wide reading in church history. There are avenues of spiritual  knowledge and experience opened to the Christian in this work which he  probably never knew existed.
