GOD'S ALL-ENCOMPASSING PROVIDENCE
The picture presented in the Bible, cover to cover, is not one of God creating the natural world to run on its own while He maintains His distance. What we find instead is a picture of God creating, sustaining, owning, and governing the world of nature.
His providence is not, so to speak, by proxy, but present and hands-on—the kind of closeness that causes the biblical writers to say such things as “He makes grass grow on the hills” (Ps. 147:
, “God appointed a worm that attacked the plant” (Jonah 4:7), and “He brings forth the wind from His store- houses” (Ps. 135:7).
John Piper, Providence
