The Bible affirms that God sustains our fortunes through His providential care and sovereignty over our lives.
Psalm 16:5 speaks of the Lord sustaining our fortunes, indicating His active role in guiding and providing for us. Christians believe that God's sovereignty extends over all aspects of our lives, guiding our paths and orchestrating circumstances for our ultimate good and His glory (Romans 8:28). This understanding helps us trust in His goodness, even amidst difficulties. His providential care assures us that, like David, we can confidently claim that our lot is secure in Him, knowing that He provides all we need according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
