How do we know that God arranges our circumstances?

The concept of God's providence is foundational in Reformed theology, which holds that God is sovereign over all aspects of life. Ephesians 1:11 states that God works all things according to the counsel of His will. This means that every circumstance, including our spiritual journeys, is orchestrated by Him for our ultimate good and His glory. God's providence is evident in how believers are called and gathered, as illustrated by the publicans and sinners in Luke 15, who draw near to Christ because they are drawn by the Father. Such divine orchestration ensures that no event is random or outside of God's control, emphasizing His active and loving governance over creation.
