Desiring God | 1 month ago

In a culture filled with silliness and superficiality, seeing and savoring the providence of God protects our hearts from trifling with divine things.

The doctrine of God’s providence is the theme of Pastor John’s new book by that title, ‘Providence.’ The glorious truth that God governs over everything in this universe has always been true. But for us to see and savor God’s providence, we must learn this glorious truth ourselves from what God has revealed to us in his word. And when we see it and embrace it as true and glorious, this doctrine makes a very definite impact in our lives. So on Wednesdays on the podcast, Pastor John is celebrating those real-life impacts that this doctrine makes on our lives. There are a total of ten implications he wants to address. Last time, in episode 1580, we looked at how God’s design for all things in providence brings meaning to all of life. In God’s design of all things, no part of life is made meaningless. That was implication number three. Here now with implication number four is Pastor John.
