Homilist James 4:13-17 Go to now, you that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:… I. THE PROVIDENCE OF GOD. 1. The rule of it. His will — the origin and law of the universe. There is nothing higher than this; it is the force of all forces. 2. The sphere of it. It extends over all things — is co-extensive with the creation. II. THE PROVIDENCE OF MAN. 1. That of the practical atheist. (1) Purely selfish. "Buy and sell," &c. No thought of God. (2) Unreasonably presumptive. Because of the uncertainty and fleetness of life. 2. That of the practical theist. God is the central thought of all his providence. (Homilist.)
