What Is Providence?

Your life is not ruled by random chance. God's providence works over all things for your 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 you and prepares the way. God works in all the details of your life. God's providence is at work in all your life situations.

God's providence works over all things. Chance and luck are myths. See the providence of God working in your life 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 for your life through the Lord Jesus Christ. That purpose is to bring glory to God in you through Christ. 

When things don't go your way, never fret nor worry. Believe the providence of God over all in Christ 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 brings good even out of bad circumstances in your life (Genesis 50:20).
