Description
First published in 1678, this little work well illustrates and explains the purpose of God for his people. Mystery of Providence, by John Flavel, presents the Puritan perspective on the God’s providence in practical terms. The book is really a lengthy meditation and application of Psalm 52:7. which says ‘I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.’ From this text, Flavel derives his ‘doctrine’ (falling in line with typical Puritan sermon-structure): ‘It is the duty of the saints, especially in times of straits, to reflect upon the performances of Providence for them in all the states and through all the stages of their lives.
