Question #27

of An Orthodox Catechism

Question
What doth this knowledg of the Creation and Providence of God profit us?
Answer
That in1adversity we may be patient,2and thankful in prosperity,3and have hereafter our chiefest hope reposed in God our most faithful Father; being sure that there is nothing which4may withdraw us from his love; forasmuch as all creatures are so in his Power, that without his Will they are5not able not only to do any thing, but not so much as once to move.
