God’s Providence

Everything we each experience in life has come across God’s desk and happens with His approval.  1 Corinthians 10:13. God will not allow too much to come our way.  Matthew 10:29, not one sparrow falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.  Satan could not affect Job without God’s permission.  Matthew 28:18, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and in earth,” Jesus.

So what are His purposes for what He allows in the individual life?  Philippians 1:6, He who began a good work in you will complete it.  Romans 8:28 All things work together for good.  John 16:33 “In the world, you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”  Romans 5:3 Tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

Whatever He allows in each life, the ultimate goal is for good for us.
