God's providence is good because it operates under His infinite wisdom and love towards His creation.
The goodness of God's providence can be traced back to His character. As affirmed in Scripture, God is good and His ways are just (Deuteronomy 32:4). This goodness manifests even in the midst of trials and uncertainties. Ecclesiastes 9:11 teaches that time and chance are under God's control, indicating that even seemingly random events are orchestrated by His good and perfect will. For believers, this is a reassurance that no matter the outcome, God's overarching purpose is ultimately for our good and His glory (Romans 8:28). Trusting in His providence means finding peace in the knowledge that He works all things together for His purposes.
