January 17th -- Psalm 34

THE EYES OF THE LORD

EVENTS in private life may be loudly trumpeted as "providential" which God has not affected at all, but which are the natural juxta-positions of fortuitous occurrence. Nevertheless, there is a providential control, though all circumstances are not controlled. We must not be scared or discouraged out of a recognition of the true by the vast mass of the spurious. Where God is feared, His promises believed and His commandments obeyed, there is a providence at work, shaping natural circumstances, to give them an appointed issue for good though the road travelled may be apparently evil. "The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous: His ears are open to their cry."
