Tomorrow


The 1828 Webster's Dictionary states that in theology, the word "Providence" is defined as the care and superintendence which God exercises over his creatures. He that acknowledges a creation and denies a Providence, involves himself in a palpable contradiction; for the same power which caused a thing to exist is necessary to continue its existence. Some persons admit a general providence, but deny a particular Providence where God provides, not considering that a general providence consists of particulars. A belief in Divine Providence, is a source of great consolation to good men. By Divine Providence is often understood God himself.

We take a good look around the see God's fingerprints everywhere in His Creation. Sometimes, we look back over our lives and can see God's hand working through people, places and things to bring us to where we are today, though we didn't understand it all back then. He is Jehovah Jireh, translated "God is our Provider". See Him as your Provision today. But also see Him as your Provider for tomorrow. Who knows what tomorrow brings? But we know Who brings tomorrow! God is love. God is life. God is good. God provides. Praise be to God!

In Christ, Brian
