• Providential Works

     Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of men! – Psalm 107:8

  ---

  A word that was once consistently used to refer to God is “providence.” Essentially, this means the spiritual power and protective care of God over nature. The founding fathers of this nation often referenced “Divine Providence“ to acknowledge the work and guidance of the Lord. 

  In the Westminster Catechism, God’s works of providence are described as “his most holy, wise, and powerful preserving and governing all his creatures, ordering them, and all their actions, to His own glory.” It goes on to explain the special act of providence God exercised toward humankind: “The providence of God toward man in the estate in which he was created, was the placing him in paradise, appointing him to dress it, giving him liberty to eat of the fruit of the earth; putting the creatures under his dominion, and obtaining heritage for his help, affording him communion with Himself, entering into a covenant of life with him.” His conditions were personal and perpetual obedience. Of course, you know that humanity’s original parents failed in that obedience, ultimately culminating in another act of God’s providence—giving His Son, Jesus, to redeem the people back to Himself. 

  From those first days of creation until today—and beyond—God’s love for His creation has been freely given and steadfast, immovable, firm, resolute, and unwavering. If you know Him, you have personally availed yourself of that love. And there is more to come! 

  Take the time to slow down, consider creation and its beauty (even in its corrupted state), and thank God for His love and for all that He has provided. Have confidence that His love will endure, for it is the very essence of Who He is. Pray that men and women in government who have not known or understood that love to be drawn to faith in Jesus, so that they, too, might join in the chorus of praise. 

  Today’s Verse: Psalm 107:8

  Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, 
      for his wondrous works to the children of man!

  ⁵When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, ⁶and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— ⁷then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. ⁸And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. ⁹And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 

  ¹⁵The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
