Divine Conduct, or The Mystery of Providence

Sometimes he cheers and comforts the hearts of his people with smiling and reviving Providences, both public and personal. There are times of lifting up as well as casting down by the hand of Providence. The Scene changes, the aspects of Providence are very cheerful and encouraging▪ their Winter seems to be over: they put off their garments of mourning; and then, Ah, what sweet returns are made to heaven by gracious souls! Doth God lift them up by prosperity? they also will lift up their God by praises. See Psal. 18. Title, and v. 1, 2, 3. So Moses and the people with him, Exod. 15. when God had delivered them from Pharaoh, how do they exalt him in a song of thanksgiving, which for the elegance and spirituality of it, is made an Emblem of the doxologies given to God in glory by the Saints! Rev. 15. 3.
