Finding pasture in providence

I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 10:9

"There is a finding pasture in providence. A sweet and healthy pasture indeed this is to watch the Lord's providential dealings with us spread through a long series of years. It is seeing the Lord's providential hand which makes the commonest temporal mercies sweet. Every nibble of grass or lock of hay which we can believe to be specially provided for us by the hand of that good Shepherd becomes thereby doubly sweet."

-- J. C. Philpot
