"God from eternity either decreases of permits all things that come to pass, and perpetually upholds, governs, and directs all creatures and all events. Yet, so as not in anyways to be the author or approver of sin or, to destroy the free will and responsibility of intelligent creatures. Simply put: Providence is the government that God exercises over the affairs of the human race. Providence in reality is sovereignty given practical expression of its existence. Also said, Our God Reigns."

Providence involves the selection of a servant. God calls those who trust and obey him. Within God’s providence there will be gray area surrounding the activity of God in the affairs of his people. But not to dismiss the reality of God’s providence within the situation. We, as the chosen servant of Christ, are called to run wildly into the mysterious, gray process. We are to trust and obey.


Practically in each of our lives we have evidence of God’s providence as his choosen servant. I as His child, I am his servant. Christ came and died. Since from the beginning of humanity man was sinner, but Jesus came and finished the work. God’s provision was to care and love his creation from the beginning to the end. All for his glory we were created to sin, and He display himself most famous and as savior. As stated above, Providence in reality is sovereignty given practical expression of its existence. Practical expression in each of our lives because of care and guidance of the father’s love.

I am the servant. I am in the gray, and mystery. Jesus, teach me not to run but sit and wait for you. Only when I hear your voice let me move, run, go far. Teach me to love well in my context now, today, this moment. Teach me to trust and obey.
