Subject: Biblical Definition of Providence of God |
Bible Note: Question: What is meant by the providence of God? Answer: The almighty and everywhere present power of God (Acts 17:25-28; Jeremiah 23:23,24; Isaiah 29:15,16; Ezekiel 8:12); whereby, as it were by His hand, He upholds and governs (Hebrews 1:3) heaven, earth, and all creatures, so that herbs and grass, rain and drought (Jeremiah 5:24; Acts 14:17), fruitful and barren years, meat and drink, health and sickness (John 9:3), riches and poverty (Proverbs 22:2), yes, and all things come, not by chance, but by His fatherly hand (Matthew 10:20; Proverbs 16:33). Question: What advantage is it to us to know that God has created, and by His providence does still uphold all things? Answer: That we may be patient in adversity (Rom.5:3; James 1:3; Ps.39:9; Job 1:21,22), thankful in prosperity (Deuteronomy 8:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:18), and that in all things, which may hereafter befall us, we place our firm trust in our faithful God and Father (Psalm 55:22; Romans 5:4), that nothing shall separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39); since all creatures are so in His hand, that without His will they cannot so much as move (Job 1:12; 2:6; Acts 17:25, 28; Proverbs 21:1). --Heidelberg Catechism (1563), Questions 27 and 28 |
