Great post.

Q. 28) What advantage comes from acknowledging God's creation and providence?

A.) We learn that we are to be patient in adversity, grateful in the midst of blessing, and to trust our faithful God and Father for the future, assured that no creature shall separate us from his love, since all creatures are so completely in his hand that without his will they cannot even move." -- John Calvin, "The Heidelberg Catechism," 1563

I do love that confession.

How true this is , it is peace in the storm..Christ said "be still" and the storm stopped .

Luk 8:25   And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

When we know that God is sovereign over all things , we need never fear the storm.."all things work together for the good of those that love him and are called according to His purpose."

Exd 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day:....

It is well with my soul..
