The Providence of God is not a sign of divine favor or protection. Material prosperity is not a reward for serving God, nor does God decide all things for us. Instead, Providence is the divine outworking of God’s plan. It consists in the interlocking activities of the celestial beings and the divine spirits who, in accordance with cosmic law, unceasingly labor for the honor of God and for the spiritual advancement of his children. This is the realm of the Supreme Being and the Conjoint Actor. See also Functions of Providence.
