Understanding God’s providence brings the fullness of life to a believing soul.   #daybydaylw   Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!   ~~~   This is the central statement, the climax if you will, of the whole passage. “For the Lord had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the Lord might bring harm upon Absalom.” Do you believe in the providence of God? I am not talking about fate or coincidence. I am talking about a personal being, God, and His right and might to orchestrate all the events of mankind in order to bring about His glory and His people’s good. The providence of God includes not only His actions, but also his choice not to act in certain circumstances. All of it is according to His providential plan. It seems like we talk a lot about the providence of God around here doesn’t? But I hope you realize that we talk a lot about it because God talks a lot about it in His word. He wants us to know that we are not alone! He wants us to know that we are secure within Him. He wants us to know that you can gather the wisest, strongest, most intelligent, most political people on the earth—the top scientists, top doctors, top philosophers and combine them with the most sinister of people who are willing to do anything to accomplish their goals, and they will only ever accomplish what God has ordained for them to accomplish. It is that simple! And it is that beautiful. And it is a doctrine that brings out the fullness of life to a believing soul!
