Lesson 12
Summary:
Scripture consistently affirms God’s providence as He sovereignly rules over all creation, history, and rulers to accomplish His purposes. From David’s acknowledgment of God’s power and authority to Jeremiah’s proclamation of His unmatched might, and Daniel’s declaration of His absolute dominion over kings and nations, we see that nothing can thwart the will of the Almighty. God’s people can rest in confidence knowing that every event and decision ultimately serves His perfect plan for their good and His glory.
