2026 THEME
“It is The Day of the Lord”
MONTHLY FOCUS
“The Providence of God”
I pray that you were greatly blessed by last month’s study on the Sovereignty of God. I found that meditating on those passages served to build me up in the faith and strengthened my confidence with the realization that,—my God is in control!
Similarly, for the month of June we will study the Scriptures to gain a better understanding of “The Providence of God”. The Sovereignty of God and His Divine Providence often intersect one another. However, Sovereignty is the totality of His Authority and Power. Providence, on the other hand, is His Divine Purpose, Plan and Provision. Though the actual term is not found in Scripture, the concept is very much present in revelation and demonstration throughout.
Providence is defined as Divine (of God) guidance and care. God is recognized as The Source of all knowledge and wisdom guiding and sustaining His Creation and thus directing human destiny. Destiny is God’s predetermined purpose and plan based upon His good intentions for every person that He has created. In Ephesians 1:4-6 (TPT), the Apostle Paul gives us revelation insight into God’s plan, His purpose and the intent of His heart.
“And in love He chose us before He laid the foundation of the universe! Because of His great love, He ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in His eyes with an unstained innocence. For it was always in His perfect plan to adopt us as His delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that His tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify His grace—for the same love He has for the Beloved Jesus, He has for us. And this unfolding plan brings Him great pleasure!"
In Divine Providence, God acts freely and purposefully to accomplish His ultimate plan for our good and for His glory; though the choice is ours to accept or reject.
Within the word providence, we see the verb, to provide: to supply or to make provision available...to prepare in advance to meet a need...to sustain or support. Our Lord is Jehovah Jireh...the God Who sees ahead and makes provision! What a Good, Good Father!
“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. For God knew His people in advance, and He chose them to become like His Son, so that His Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, He gave them right standing with Himself. And having given them right standing, He gave them His glory.” (Rom. 8:28-30 NLT)
Divine Providence: God’s Purpose, His Plan, His Provision...
for GOOD!
“...the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of His heart through all generations.”
Ps. 33:11 (NIV)
