The doctrine of Divine Providence is a profound and comforting truth, that reminds us of God’s sovereign control over all things. This principle assures us that our Heavenly Father is not a distant, unconcerned deity. He is rather a loving, all-powerful Creator, who intimately governs all the affairs of His universe, and every detail of our individual lives.
Nothing happens by luck, chance, or accident–but rather by the wise, good, and purposeful hand of our Almighty Governor. Even in the midst of life’s trials, uncertainties, and sorrows, we can take solace in the knowledge that our steps are ordered by the Lord. He works all things together for the eternal good of those who love Him. Because His providential care extends to the most insignificant sparrow and the flowers of the field.
Though His ways are incomprehensible, we can trust . . .
that God’s Providence is perfect,
His timing is impeccable, and
that His plans for us are for our eternal good, and His glory!
As we walk by faith and not by sight, let us continually praise the Lord for His sovereign and loving oversight–resting in the assurance that our lives are safely held in the palm of His almighty hand. Though the future may be uncertain from our limited perspective, we can be certain that our Heavenly Father’s Providence will unfailingly come to pass!
Therefore, “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!” Romans 11:33
