bonhoeffer on providence

"But to deviate from the truth for the sake of some prospect of hope of our own can never be wise, however slight that deviation me be. It is not our judgement of the situation which can show us what is wise, but only the truth of the Word of God. Here alone lies the promise of God's faithfulness and help. It will always be true that the wisest course for the disciple is always to abide solely by the Word of God in all simplicity." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

God's Word contains Truth. We need add nothing to our security by inventing additional words of hope. We must access every situation in light of His Truth. We need never add our own inventions of comfort. In Him we will find all that we need.
