Why God’s Providence is Always Good, Even When We Can’t See It

by CBHHM Cliff Jumpers

As believers, we often struggle to understand and trust in God’s providence when we’re facing difficult circumstances. It’s easy to question God’s goodness and wisdom when we’re in the midst of turmoil and uncertainty. But the Bible teaches us that God’s providence is always good, even when we can’t see it.

So, what is God’s providence? Providence refers to God’s sovereign and intentional care for His children, guiding and directing every aspect of their lives. It’s the idea that God is actively involved in our lives, working out His plans and purposes for us, even when we’re not aware of it.

There are several reasons why we might struggle with trusting in God’s providence:

1. Limited understanding: We can’t see the bigger picture or understand the reasons behind God’s actions.


2. Fear and doubt: We may fear that God is abandoning us or that He’s not good enough to take care of us.


3. Emotional pain: We may be experiencing physical or emotional pain, which makes it hard to trust in a good God.

Here are some ways to trust in God’s providence even when things seem uncertain:

1. Focus on God’s character: Remember that God is a good and loving Father who desires the best for us (Matthew 7:11).


2. Trust in His sovereignty: Recognize that God is in control and that everything works together for our good (Romans 8:28).


3. Look for glimpses of His presence: Even in difficult times, look for small moments of beauty, joy, or peace that remind you of God’s presence.


4. Pray for understanding: Ask God to give you eyes to see His hand at work and wisdom to trust in His plans.


5. Seek community support: Surround yourself with people who can encourage and support you in your faith.

Let’s look at some examples from Scripture where God’s providence can be seen even in difficult circumstances:

1. Joseph: Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, but God used this experience to prepare him for his future as a leader (Genesis 37-47).


2. Job: Job lost everything, including his family and health, but God used his suffering to demonstrate His sovereignty and wisdom (Job 1-42).


3. Paul and Silas: They were imprisoned for their faith, but God used their imprisonment to spread the gospel and lead many to Christ (Acts 16:25-40).

God’s providence is always good, even when we can’t see it. It may require trust, patience, and perseverance, but ultimately, it leads us to a deeper understanding of His character and love for us. As we navigate difficult circumstances, remember that God is always working out His plans and purposes for us, even when we can’t see them.
