III. Practical Lessons
Life can be hard
When it is, don’t turn away from God; turn to Him
God is sovereign
over all, even when life
doesn’t make sense
God is always present
God is always working when we are unaware
We should pray for protection, wisdom
and guidance
The purpose of His providence is to
reveal Himself as God!
The providence of God helps us trust
Him.
God has the power to weave all events for our
good and His glory.
