We do not hear the term Providence used very much,even from pulpits,I
cannot remember hearing this term used ,and yet it is very important,it is a statement of faith,in God who rules and over rules in all things,that He is working all things out according to His will.The Westminster confession of
Faith defines the providence of God as follows;/God the great Creator of all things doth uphold,direct,dispose,and govern all creatures,actions,and things,from the greatest even to the least,by his most wise and holy providence,according to his infallible knowledge,and free immutable counsel of his own will,to the praise of the glory of his wisdom,power,
justice,goodness,and mercy./ I stated that this a statement of faith,because William Cowper, wrote God moves in a mysterious ways His wonders to perform.As Romans11v33 declares,/How unsearchable are His judgements
and His ways are past finding out/. Consider that the God created all things
reassures us that all things came not into being by chance.It also reassures us that God is in control even though man is out of control,and if you are a child of God,let me again stress my life verse,That all things are working
together for good,to them that love God ,[even though what is happening to you may be painful and bad] ./Romans 8 v28/
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
[Words by W. Cowper]
