Divine Providence

You’re not here by chance, but by divine design, exactly where you’re meant to be. Your circumstances are part of God’s plan, with purpose awaiting discovery and fulfilment.

In Acts 17:26–27, it’s written: “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.”

God has intricately determined the times and locations of 
human existence, inviting individuals to seek and find Him amidst their surroundings. Everything pertaining to life and godliness is already provisioned in Christ Jesus. Eternity was placed in the heart of man, but he didn’t know.

Throughout history, saints have wrestled with doubts while discerning God’s will, as exemplified by Moses in Pharaoh’s palace and Obama’s rise to the presidency as the first African American. Divine providence ensures that God utilises both successes and setbacks for His purposes.

Transitional phases demand openness to God’s guidance, even if it leads beyond comfort zones, fostering growth and spiritual transformation. Our sense of purpose is grounded in our relationship with God, transcending circumstances or achievements. Remaining faithful to His calling ensures our usefulness for His glory wherever we’re planted. In both extraordinary and mundane events, you can see God’s hand at work, bringing about His divine purposes!
