JEHOVAH-JIREH: A TREATISE ON PROVIDENCE
William S. Plumer, 1865
Abraham named the place "Jehovah-jireh." (The Lord
Will Provide) This name has now become a proverb: "On the mountain of the
Lord it will be provided." Genesis 22:14
I would assert eternal Providence,
And justify the ways of God to men.
"Our God is in heaven and does whatever He pleases!" Psalm 115:3
"For I know that the Lord is great; our Lord is greater than all gods.
The Lord does whatever He pleases in heaven and on earth, in the seas and
all the depths!" Psalm 135:5-6
"Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!" Revelation 19:6

Providences are long chains with many links in them.
If one link were missing, the event would fail. But it is God's chain and
God's plan. The thing is fixed. The outcome is not doubtful.
"I know that You can do all things; no plan of Yours can be thwarted."
Job 42:2
"My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I
please. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned,
that will I do." Isaiah 46:10-11
"The plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of
His will." Ephesians 1:11
"This is the plan determined for the whole world."
Isaiah 14:26
