A belated blog birthday mention of my thankfulness to God for Providence Mather Phillips who, last week, completed his first revolution around the sun.

Concerning “Providence,” the Westminster Confession reads: “Of Providence: God the great Creator of all things doth uphold,[a] direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things,[b] from the greatest even to the least,[c] by His most wise and holy providence,[d] according to His infallible foreknowledge,[e] and the free and immutable counsel of his own will,[f] to the praise of the glory of his wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy.[g] References: [a]. Neh. 9:6; Ps. 145:14-16; Heb. 1:3 [b]. Dan. 4:34-35; Ps. 135:6; Acts 17:25-28; Job 38:1-41:34; [c]. Matt. 10:29-31, see Matt. 6:26-32; [d]. Prov. 15:3; II Chron. 16:9; Ps. 104:24; Ps. 145:17; [e]. Acts 15:18; Isa. 42:9; Ezek. 11:5; [f]. Eph. 1:11; Ps. 33:10-11; [g]. Isa. 63:14; Eph. 3:10; Rom. 9:17; Gen. 45:7; Ps. 145:7.”
