poverty, indeed, all things, come not by
chance but by His fatherly hand.

Of the evils that infect Gods world..., it can summarily be
said: God permits evil; he punishes evil with evil; hebrings good out of evil; he uses evil to test and disciplinethose he loves; and one day he will redeem his people
from the power and presence of evil altogether. The
doctrine of providence teaches Christians that they arenever in the grip of blind forces (fortune, chance, luck,
fate); all that happens to them is divinely planned, and
each event comes as a new summons to trust, obey, and
rejoice, knowing that all is for ones spiritual and eternalgood (Rom. 8:28).

We may be bewildered at the things
that happen to us, but God knows
exactly what he is doing... [So,] we
ought not to hesitate to trust his
wisdom, even when he leaves us in
the dark.

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustusthat all the world should be registered. This was the
first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria.And all went to be registered, each to his own town.And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town
of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is
called Bethlehem, because he was of the house andlineage of David, to be registered with Mary, hisbetrothed, who was with child. And while they were
there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gavebirth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in
swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because therewas no place for them in the inn.
Luke 2:1-7 (ESV)
