If you ain't Dutch....

I've been thinking a lot lately about providence and the Dutch. Yes the Dutch... My best friend from seminary is Dutch, we have some Dutch families at church. Here we are with a scottish confession, and we have in influx of Dutch. What's cool though is I really love the Dutch Reformed confession, the Heidelberg. This last week, I used the Heidelberg for our "what we believe" part of the service and we focused on prayer. Providentially we had visitors from Holland. Only the parents spoke english, but as they were translating the service, the husband noticed that the corporate confession was from their own confession of faith. He said they were greatly encouraged by this, as it freed them to worship God. I think of all the other little providences I may have missed during Sunday, even today and I am in awe of the mightiness of God. Isn't he amazing?
