"Are not two ~sparrows~ sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very ~hairs~ of your head are all numbered!" Matthew 10:29-30

Providence is God's gentle yet firm hand that orchestrates all of the events of our lives, weaving together our joys and sorrows, triumphs and trials, into a beautiful masterpiece! God's providence is the unseen force behind every moment, every decision, and every outcome.

Providence teaches us to trust in our unseen Creator, Sustainer, and Savior--and to surrender our fears and doubts to the One who holds all things in His hands, and "causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose!" Romans 8:28

As we journey through life, we may encounter obstacles that seem insurmountable, and moments of despair that threaten to overwhelm us. But even in the midst of chaos, divine Providence is at work, as God leads us through the darkness. ~He is the steady anchor that holds us firm amidst the storms of life~.

To embrace the Providence of God is to embrace a ~life of faith~, rooted not in our own strength or understanding, but in the unchanging nature of God Himself. It is to relinquish control and surrender to God's divine plan which is unfolding before us--knowing that His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

In every season of life, whether we find ourselves on the mountaintop, or in the valley--we may take comfort in the Providence of God, trusting that He who began a good work in us, will be faithful to complete it. Our lives are held securely in His hands, and His tenacious love will never fail us!
