Faith Q&A › Catechism › 7. Divine Providence

What does the Holy Bible say about divine providence?

The answer

The Lord Jesus says, “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matt. 6:26). The Psalmist extols God’s care for him, saying, “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.’ Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence … You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day …” (Ps. 91:2–5).
