The Good LORD's Providence to His people

"If we trust God for our heavenly inheritance, we may well trust him for our daily maintenance, which he vouchsafeth to the birds of the air, to the beast of the field, and even to his enemies.  He that feedeth a kite (-falcon or hawk), will he not feed a child? He that supplies His enemies, will He not take care of His family?  You would think that person monstrously cruel who would feed his dogs and stave his children.  This cannot, without blasphemy, be imagined of our gracious and heavenly Father."

 

-preacher Thomas Manton (1620-1677 A.D.
