As a child, I learned all the traditional Bible stories. These include stories like David and Goliath, Adam and Eve, and Jesus walking on water. I knew the stories well. It wasn’t until I became an adult that I understood there was more depth to them.
As I have become more sanctified in Christ, I have gained a richer understanding of His providence. I have learned (and continue to learn) how every event in the Bible connects to other events in the Bible.
Every event in the Bible connects to other events in the Bible.
There are so many examples of God’s providence in the Bible. The Old Testament books lay the foundation for stories that start and finish there. They also help in understanding the entire New Testament. When we understand that we serve a providential God, we can start to see Him in between the lines.
One of my favorite examples of this is the story of Moses. The story of Moses begins during a time when pharaoh orders the death of all Hebrew male infants. To save him, Moses’ mother placed him in a basket and set him afloat on the Nile River. By God’s providence, the pharaoh’s daughter discovered the basket and decided to adopt Moses. Unknowingly, she hired Moses’ own mother to nurse him. Fast forward to Moses as an adult. He ends up delivering the Israelites from bondage.
God’s providence can be seen in several ways in this one story. And there are many more like it.
Take some time today to read your favorite bible story again. In what ways does that story connect the dots to other biblical events?
