Derek Thomas: The Providence of God

Right now counts forever because God is in control of all things. He has created a moral universe in which our actions have consequences both now and forever. God can do all things, and none of His purposes can be thwarted (Job 42:2). In this session, Dr. Derek Thomas reminds us that this knowledge is cause for holy reverence, awe, and peace as we acknowledge God’s work in our lives and in the lives of others. He is the sovereign God, Creator of heaven and earth, and He reigns over His creation in glory and splendor.

The best preaching on Providence that I've heard so far! Thank You God for Your servant, Ps Thomas.

[eileendunkley]

I love to listen to these preachers, they expound the scriptures so beautifully. Called by God.

[suziesmith]

Thank you Pastor Thomas. We all want ease & easy answers. That's just not how God is. We have to accept it and do our very best to trust God's choices & reason.

“The Book of Job”, taught by Pastor Thomas was truly life altering for me. I believe it’s still available on Amazon Prime, for now.

Too often I have thought of the providence of God being equal to the benevolence of God. And while that may or may not be true, I've always colored it with good things in the human sense. I too often forget simple things: God is eternal. He has saved me and made me have eternal life. To live with Him in all His glory and praise Him for it for all eternity, there is MUCH work that God must do in me. And most of it will be things I don't understand. I'm starting off with the understanding in Philippians 2:14 - looking back at Numbers 16. I don't want to keep on grumbling about every little thing in this world that I think is "wrong" forgetting that My LORD and GOD is in charge and is on His Throne determining everything that happens. I want to remember that first and foremost. Since GOD is GOD He therefore knows what He is doing. Trust is so important as a believer - trust in Him. May we all learn that well. (I love the book of Job too, and yes, admittedly am also a Celt. Thank God He gave us Job.)

„Has not my hand made ALL things, and so they came into being?“ declares the Lord.
„This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.“ Isa. 66:2.

This video is an example of why 'captioning would help us all . I needed to raise vol. to 100% to try to get the verbiage...tough to comprehend.when trying to understand what the speaker is saying... perhaps increase'treble'. ~BillR

[mchristr]

It's fairly simple to rationalize difficulty when we've disobeyed the commands of Scripture. Of course we deserve chastening. But what of the times when "good" things are lost-our health, a marriage, a child, the wealth we've worked so diligently to acquire--all while walking in faithfulness to God? It is then the Book of Job is most necessary. Does our Redeemer really live?

[writeousrhema]

Amen. Such a difficult topic to tackle. I took notes. Happy New Year

[emmyty]

I wish the audio was louder...I've turned my phone up all the way...Sometimes I wonder if it has something to do with the video upload?

[emmyty]

Is there any way to make the volume higher on these videos? Im not sure what all goes into it, but im having a hard time hearing from Derek on several videos, even with the volume maxed out on my phone. Thank you!!
