visitations of providence ,
weighing Providence literally means foresight ,
but is generally used to denote God '
s preserving and governing all things by means of second causes (
Ps .
18 :
35 ;
63 :
8 ;
Acts 17 :
28 ;
Col .
1 :
17 ;
Heb .
1 :
3 ).
God '
s providence extends to the natural world (
Ps .
104 :
14 ;
135 :
5 -
7 ;
Acts 14 :
17 ),
the brute creation (
Ps .
104 :
21 -
29 ;
Matt .
6 :
26 ;
10 :
29 ),
and the affairs of men (
1 Chr .
16 :
31 ;
Ps .
47 :
7 ;
Prov .
21 :
1 ;
Job 12 :
23 ;
Dan .
2 :
21 ;
4 :
25 ),
and of individuals (
1 Sam .
2 :
6 ;
Ps .
18 :
30 ;
Luke 1 :
53 ;
James 4 :
13 -
15 ).
It extends also to the free actions of men (
Ex .
12 :
36 ;
1 Sam .
24 :
9 -
15 ;
Ps .
33 :
14 ,
15 ;
Prov .
16 :
1 ;
19 :
21 ;
20 :
24 ;
21 :
1 ),
and things sinful (
2 Sam .
16 :
10 ;
24 :
1 ;
Rom .
11 :
32 ;
Acts 4 :
27 ,
28 ),
as well as to their good actions (
Phil .
2 :
13 ;
4 :
13 ;
2 Cor .
12 :
9 ,
10 ;
Eph .
2 :
10 ;
Gal .
5 :
22 -
25 ).
As regards sinful actions of men ,
they are represented as occurring by God '
s permission (
Gen .
45 :
5 ;
50 :
20 .
Comp .
1 Sam .
6 :
6 ;
Ex .
7 :
13 ;
14 :
17 ;
Acts 2 :
3 ;
3 :
18 ;
4 :
27 ,
28 ),
and as controlled (
Ps .
76 :
10 )
and overruled for good (
Gen .
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 (
Ps .
103 :
17 -
19 ),
particular (
Matt .
10 :
29 -
31 ),
efficacious (
Ps .
33 :
11 ;
Job 23 :
13 ),
embraces events apparently contingent (
Prov .
16 :
9 ,
33 ;
19 :
21 ;
21 :
1 ),
is consistent with his own perfection (
2 Tim .
2 :
13 ),
and to his own glory (
Rom .
9 :
17 ;
11 :
36 ).
