God's Providence

The Big Question Have you ever lain awake at night wondering: Is God actually in control? Not in an abstract, theological sense, but when the diagnosis comes, when the job ends, when relationships fracture, or when the future looks terrifyingly blank? The doctrine of providence is the answer the Bible gives. It is not a cold doctrine about machinery; it is a warm doctrine about our Father. A simple definition: Providence is God’s continual, personal, and powerful care over everything He has made—directing all things, moment by moment, toward the final purpose He has chosen.
