“In the infinite wisdom of the Lord of all the earth, each event falls with exact precision into its proper place in this unfolding of His eternal plan; nothing, however small or however strange occurs without His ordering, or without its peculiar fitness for its place in the working out of His purpose; and the end of all shall be the manifestation of His glory, and accumulation of His praise.”  Benjamin B. Warfield (1851-1921)

“Many things occur to make us uneasy, but there is enough in the covenant of grace to balance them and to make us easy.”  Matthew Henry (1662-1714)
