“POWER BELONGS TO GOD!”

Surrounding humankind are countless signs of god’s wonderful power and majesty. God's providential care by His gracious hand, protects, guides, preserves and fulfils His promises. It is the continuing unseen influential activity of God sustaining His universe, providing for all needs of every creature and preparing for the completion and perfection of eternal purposes. It is the outworking of God's decrees, His plans, His purposes, which are in conformity with His will.

By His power God maintains the ongoing preservation of the universe that He has created.

God's works are most holy and wise, powerful, serving, governing all His creation and their actions through His universal Sovereign rule. Not only does He preserve all that He has created, He provides all that is needed of His creatures in this world. When God created the world, He created the seasons which brought forth food for humans and animals.

He is the governmental Head of the entire universe, sustains all things by His powerful Word, including the affairs of mankind. God Himself has revealed His creation and caring power. God not only cares for physical needs of human kind but also the spiritual needs of His people, each of whom He values. Divine providence has a moral order.

All that God originally created was good. He continues to be good in the preservation, by sustaining it on behalf of all His created creatures. In His mercy, kindness and love, he provides for the godly and ungodly alike. All are given the elements of nature to delight in and take pleasure from, unconditionally. All who inhabit the earth have enjoyment in the sun, moon and stars, the trees and forests, rain and snow, rivers and streams, hills and mountains, animals and birds, foliage, flowers and blossom, the oceans and seas and all that are filled within.

The beauty of creation itself makes man stand in awe and reverence of what God has provided for the people of His creation. God desires and promises to provide for His people's total well-being, their spiritual, physical and material needs. His source is unlimited.
