What Is Providence?

Our lives are not ruled by random chance. God's providence works over all things for good and God's glory. God is working for good in all things for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). "For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever" (Romans 11:36).

God's providence works daily. God works according to His good will (Romans 12:2). God knows what is ahead for us and prepares the way. God works in all the details of our lives. God's providence is at work in all our circumstances.

God's providence works over all things. Chance and luck are myths. See the providence of God working according to an eternal purpose,"the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will" (Ephesians 1:11). God has a purpose in our lives through the Lord Jesus Christ. That purpose is to bring glory to God through Christ. 

When things don't go your way, never fret nor worry. Believe the providence of God over all is good. When it seems like everything is going wrong, don't be discouraged. Believe God's providence for you shall prevail in His time. We live in an evil age, where bad things can happen to us. However, God's providence works for good in all things. God's providence brings good out of bad circumstances in our lives (Genesis 50:20).
