God' s providence extends to the natural world ( Ps. 104: 14; 135: 5- 7; Acts 14: 17), the brute creation ( Ps. 104: 21- 29; Matt. 6: 26; 10: 29), and the affairs of men ( 1 Chr. 16: 31; Ps. 47: 7; Prov. 21: 1; Job 12: 23; Dan. 2: 21; 4: 25), and of individuals ( 1 Sam. 2: 6; Ps. 18: 30; Luke 1: 53; James 4: 13- 15). It extends also to the free actions of men ( Ex. 12: 36; 1 Sam. 24: 9- 15; Ps. 33: 14, 15; Prov. 16: 1; 19: 21; 20: 24; 21: 1), and things sinful ( 2 Sam. 16: 10; 24: 1; Rom. 11: 32; Acts 4: 27, 28), as well as to their good actions ( Phil. 2: 13; 4: 13; 2 Cor. 12: 9, 10; Eph. 2: 10; Gal. 5: 22- 25). As regards sinful actions of men, they are represented as occurring by God' s permission ( Gen. 45: 5; 50: 20. Comp. 1 Sam. 6: 6; Ex. 7: 13; 14: 17; Acts 2: 3; 3: 18; 4: 27, 28), and as controlled ( Ps. 76: 10) and overruled for good ( Gen. 50: 20; Acts 3: 13). God does not cause or approve of sin, but only limits, restrains, overrules it for good. The mode of God' s providential government is altogether unexplained. We only know that it is a fact that God does govern all his creatures and all their actions; that this government is universal ( Ps. 103: 17- 19), particular ( Matt. 10: 29- 31), efficacious ( Ps. 33: 11; Job 23: 13), embraces events apparently contingent ( Prov. 16: 9, 33; 19: 21; 21: 1), is consistent with his own perfection ( 2 Tim. 2: 13), and to his own glory ( Rom. 9: 17; 11: 36).
