God’s providence isn’t an obstacle to evangelism and missions. It is, instead, our only hope to see the good news of the gospel reach all nations. One year ago today, health officials in the United States confirmed COVID case number one thousand. What a year since. In uncertain times, like the ones we live in today, it’s especially relevant to ponder God’s providence, the theme of Pastor John’s new book by that title, ‘Providence.’ The reassuring truth of Scripture is that God’s sovereign decree governs over everything — over every virus, and over every nation, and over every human ruler. He does this to bring about his final purpose and end. Such an awesome doctrine, when we see it and delight in it, can make a very deep and definite impact on how we live, even down to how we fulfill our mission on earth. It’s one of ten implications Pastor John is focusing on in this little Wednesday series on the podcast. Last time, in episode 1595, we looked at how God’s providence gives us the confidence that God has the right and the power to answer our prayers. Providence gives us confidence to pray. That was implication number eight. Here now with implication number nine is Pastor John.
