PROVIDENCE, TO SEE IN ADVANCE OR BEFOREHAND …
WE SEE GOD’S PROVIDENCE IN THREE AREAS.
PRESERVATION, GOD’S WORK OF SUSTAINING CREATION
CONCURRENCE, GOD’S PROVIDENCE STANDS OVER AND ABOVE OUR ACTIONS.
“WHAT YOU MEANT FOR EVIL, GOD MEANT FOR GOOD.”
GOVERNMENT, GOD IS SOVEREIGN OVER ALL HUMAN BEINGS.
“THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CHANCE. CHANCE DOES NOT EXIST. IT IS MERELY A WORD WE USE TO DESCRIBE MATHEMATICAL POSSIBILITIES. BUT CHANCE ITSELF HAS NO POWER BECAUSE IT HAS NO BEING. CHANCE IS NOT AN ENTITY THAT CAN INFLUENCE REALITY. CHANCE IS NOT A THING, IT’S NOTHING.’’
RC SPROUL
God’s providence is at work on the most ordinary of days and the smallest details of our lives …
