Providence in Life

Life is not ruled by random chance. Providence is at work in all things, because providence is the work of God. "For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever" (Romans 11:36). Providence works in all things to the praise of God's glory.

God's providence works daily in our lives. God works in our lives according to a divine plan. God knows what is ahead and prepares the way for us. God works in the least details of our lives, as well as the greatest things. God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28).

Scripture proves that chance and luck are myths. Providence works according to God's eternal purpose, "the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will" (Ephesians 1:11). That's God's providence, not chance.

God's providence brings purpose in our lives. That purpose is for every believer to bring glory to God. He is always working for good in the lives of all who love Him. When we encounter evil, God works to bring good out of it (Genesis 50:20). 

Providence in the circumstances of life brings us to faith in Jesus Christ. God is for us in Christ. Providence opens doors of opportunity for us to do God's will. God's providence works in our lives, when we understand and when we don't.
