God's Providence

So what about providence?
 
Providence is God's execution of His plan in your life and in the entire universe. Have you ever heard the saying "the devil is in the details"? That is absolutely incorrect.
 
God is in the details:

  Oh Lord, you are my God;
  I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
  For you have done wonderful things,
  Plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
  (Isa. 25:1 ESV)

Are these plans that God hurriedly drew up last night to fix something in your life that has gone wrong? Is God looking for some "Plan B" because "Plan A" didn't pan out for us? No. These are plans He purposed before he created the world. God hasn't been up all night—papers and maps spread out across the floor of heaven, amending His purposes to it our present set of circumstances. No, the plans He has for you are His original plans. Perfect plans that never need to be amended. Now that’s a Big God.
