Providence is the continuous activity of God in His creation by which He preserves and governs. The doctrine of providence affirms God's absolute lordship over His creation and confirms the dependence of all creation on the Creator. It is the denial of the ideas that the universe is governed by chance or fate.

Through His providence God controls the universe, the physical world, the affairs of nations, man's birth and destiny and the protection of His people. - Ps. 103:19; Matt.5:45; Gal. 1:15; Ps. 4:8 - God preserves all things through His providence.

He safeguards the steps of his faithful
but the wicked vanish in darkness
(for it is not by strength that man triumphs) - 1Sam.2:9 -
Yet in fact, he is not far from any of us since it is in him that we live, and move, and exists, as indeed some of your own writers have said:
"We are all his children". - Acts 17:28 -

Without His continual care and activity the world would not exist. God also preserves His people through His providence.
You will be hated by all men on account of my name but not a hair of your head will be lost. Your endurance will win you your lives. - Luke 21:18 -
The trails that you have had to bear are no more than people normally have. You can trust God not to let you be tried beyond your strength and with any trail he will give you a way out of it and the strength to bear it. - 1Cor. 10:13 -
Remember: Anyone who wants to have a happy life and to enjoy prosperity must banish malice from his tongue, deceitful conversations from his lips; he must never yield to evil but must practise good; he must seek peace and pursue it. Because the face of the Lord frowns on evil men but the eyes of the Lord are turned towards the virtuous, his ears to their cry. - 1Pet. 3:10-12 -

Divine government is the continued activity of God by which He directs all things to the ends He has chosen in His eternal plan. God is King of the universe who has given Christ all power and authority to reign.

Jesus come up and spoke to them. He said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, make disciples of all the nations: baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And know that I am with you always: yes, to the end of time. - Matt. 28:18-20 -

May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and perception of what is revealed, to bring you to full knowledge of him. May he enlighten the eyes of your mind so that you can see what hope his call holds for you, what rich glories he has promised the saints will inherit and how infinitely great is the power that he has exercised for us believers. This you can tell from the strength of his power at work in Christ when he used it to raise him from the dead and to make him sit at the right hand, in heaven, far above every Sovereignty, Authority, Power, or Domination, or any other name that can be named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. - Eph. 1:17-21 -

He governs insignificant things as well as man's good and evil deeds.
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; fear him rather who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Can you not buy two sparrows for a penny? And yet not one falls to the ground without your Father knowing. Why, every hair on your head has been counted. So there is no need to be afraid; you are worth more than hundreds of sparrows. - Matt. 10:28-31 -

In the past he allowed each nation to go its own way; but even then he did not leave you without evidence of himself in the good things he does for you; he sends you rain from heaven, he makes your crops grow when they should, he gives you food and makes you happy. - Acts 14:16-17 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
