Providence is an act of God, whereby, according to His eternal and most wise counsel, He preserves and governs all things, and directs them all to their ends, but chiefly to His own glory. It is necessary for our hearts to be well established in this truth, that we may acknowledge God with praise for the good that comes to pass, and embrace the bad with patience.Ezekiel Hopkins, Works, III:371-382, from Voices From the Past, Banner of Truth, page 231

Wonderful! He has articulated something I have never quite been able to express. I also loved how he explained how God has determined what situations will bring him the maximum glory.
