"The doctrine of divine providence is very full and complete in the sacred oracles. It extends not only to things which we may think of great moment, and therefore worthy of notice; but to things the most indifferent and inconsiderable : Are net two sparrows sold for a farthing? says our Lord, and one of them falleth not on the ground without your heavenly Father ; nay, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. It extends not only to things beneficial and salutary, or to the direction and assistance of those who are the servants of the living God; but to things seemingly most hurtful and destructive, and to persons the most refractory and disobedient. He over-rules all his creatures, and all their actions."
John Witherspoon
