What are the causes of human suffering? It is God? Satan? Solomon said “time and chance” happens to everyone (natural causes; Ecc 9:11-12; 7:13-14). So it’s not wise to speculate on every cause of human suffering; we just can’t pinpoint the cause in every case. We simply need to realize there some things we CANNOT KNOW about this subject, but the things we CAN KNOW are found in God’s word (Deut 29:29).]

First, it will provide us with the information we need to give a credible response - as to the reason for suffering - to skeptics of the Bible.

The subject of “providence” is interesting and certainly deserving of our study. Our English word “providence” is derived from the word “provide,” and in that word we see the basic concept behind “providence”. In reference to God, providence has to do with His provisions for us. The providence of God concerns itself with the preservation, care and control that God exercises over His creation.

Jesus told Nicodemus that one “must be born again” to “see” and to “enter the kingdom of God. This is very important because the kingdom is that which Jesus will present to the Father in heaven at the end of time (1 Cor 15:24). That’s where I want to be; how about you?
