The Heidelberg Catechism (or the Martyrs' Catechism), Its Gripping History and Teaching on Providence by Dr. Joel Beeke (Free Reformed MP3)
Powerful and practical preaching on providence and much more! Includes some amazing Calvinist history near the end of this sermon.
To know that nothing hurts the godly, is a matter of comfort; but to be assured that all things which fall out shall co-operate for their good, that their crosses shall be turned into blessings, that showers of affliction water the withering root of their grace and make it flourish more; this may fill their hearts with joy till they run over. - Thomas Watson (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
Since the true Calvinist sees God's hand and wise purpose in everything, he knows that even his sufferings, sorrows, persecutions, defeats, are not the results of chance or accident, but that they have been foreseen and foreappointedŠ disciplines designed for his own good. He realizes that God will not needlessly afflict His people; that in the divine plan these are all ordered in number, weight and measure; and that they shall not continue a moment longer than God sees necessary. - Loraine Boettner (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
The Heidelberg Catechism 1 of 2 (Free MP3)
A firm faith in the universal providence of God is the solution of all earthly troubles. - B.B. Warfield
The Heidelberg Catechism 2 of 2 (Free MP3)
God's children improve all advantages to advance their grand end; they labour to grow better by blessings and crosses, and to make sanctified use of all things. - Richard Sibbes (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
Sometimes providences, like Hebrew letters, must be read backwards. - John Flavel (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
All Things Work For Good 1 of 2 by Thomas Manton (Free MP3)
Faith upholds a Christian under all trials, by assuring him that every painful dispensation is under the direction of his Lord; that chastisements are a token of His love; that the season, measure, and continuance of his sufferings, are appointed by Infinite Wisdom, and designed to work for his everlasting good; and that grace and strength shall be afforded him, according to his need. - John Newton
All Things Work For Good 2 of 2 by Thomas Manton (Free MP3)
Providence is a Christian's diary, but not his Bible. Sometimes a bad cause prevails and gets ground; but it is not to be liked because it prevails. We must not think the better of what is sinful, because it is successful. This is no rule for our actions to be directed by. - Thomas Watson (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

The Puritan Hard Drive is a massive collection of primary Puritan resources, dozens of which are very hard to find anywhere else in the world.
Any lover of Puritan literature, which, more than any other body of literature ever written, powerfully expands our minds, convicts our consciences, allures our hearts, and moves our hands, will find a treasure trove here.
