DIVINE
PROVIDENCE
DIVINE INTERVENTION
 PROVIDENCE
literally means foresight, but is generally used to denote God's
preserving and governing all things by means of second causes
(Psalm 18:35; Psalm 63:8; Acts 17:28; Col. 1:17; Hebrews 1:3).
God's providence extends to the natural world (Psalm 104:14; Psalm
135:5-7; Acts 14:17), the brute creation (Psalm 104:21-29; Matthew
6:26; Matthew 10:29), and the affairs of men (1 Chron. 16:31;
Psalm 47:7; Proverbs 21:1; Job 12:23; Daniel 2:21; Daniel 4:25),
and of individuals (1 Samuel 2:6; Psalm 18:30; Luke 1:53; James
4:13-15). It extends also to the free actions of men (Exodus 12:36;
1 Samuel 24:9-15; Psalm 33:14-15; Proverbs 16:1; Proverbs 19:21;
Proverbs 20:24; Proverbs 21:1), and things sinful (2 Samuel 16:10;
2 Samuel 24:1; Romans 11:32; Acts 4:27-28), as well as to their
good actions (Phil. 2:13; Phil. 4:13; 2 Cor. 12:9-10; Ephes. 2:10;
Galatians 5:22-25).
As regards sinful actions of people, they are represented as occurring
by God's permission (Genesis 45:5; Genesis 50:20. Comp. 1 Samuel
6:6; Exodus 7:13; Exodus 14:17; Acts 2:3; Acts 3:18; Acts 4:27-28),
and as controlled (Psalm 76:10) and overruled for good (Genesis
50:20; Acts 3:13). God does not cause or approve of sin, but only
limits, restrains, overrules it for good.
The mode of God's providential government is altogether unexplained.
We only know that it is a fact that God does govern all his creatures
and all their actions; that this government is universal (Psalm
103:17-19), particular (Matthew 10:29-31), efficacious (Psalm
33:11; Job 23:13), embraces events apparently contingent (Proverbs
16:9, 33; Proverbs 19:21; Proverbs 21:1), is consistent with his
own perfection (2 Tim. 2:13), and to his own glory (Romans 9:17;
Romans 11:36).
