We are all apt to interpret “providences” in accordance with our own desires. When we are wishing to be led in a certain way, we are quite sure to find “providences” that seem to favour our own preference. We must be careful in interpreting the meaning of events and occurrences. We are not to enter every door that is thrown open before us. The devil opens doors of temptation, but we are not to call opportunities to sin guiding “providences.” God's voice in providence never contradicts the voice of his word.
