A. Providence is the almighty and ever present power of God1 by which he upholds, as with his hand, heaven and earth and all creatures,2 and so rules them that leaf and blade, rain and drought, fruitful and lean years, food and drink, health and sickness, prosperity and poverty-3 all things, in fact, come to us not by chance4 but from his fatherly hand.5
