Divine providence in nature, in nations, and in all of life, including the good and bad of life
Bruce Ware
Scripture testifies remarkably to God’s providential workings in the events of the natural world, in the actions and events of kingdoms and nations, and in a manner that includes all that happens in life. We’ll consider biblical teaching on God’s providential workings more specifically in the good that happens in life as well as in what is bad. We may or may not be able to understand just how God works in both realms, but Scripture is clear in indicating that he does. So, while God is good and good alone, he exerts his control over both the good and bad of life.

Divine providence in the free and responsible choices and actions of human agents
Bruce Ware
Is it the case that God’s providential purposes may include what free-will creatures choose and do? Scripture again gives us wonderful examples and clear teaching that indeed the free-will choices we make do not stand outside of God’s providential workings but are part of what he uses to bring about his good and wise purposes.
