"Who am I to question the pen in the hands of The Author?" Brandon Lake and Nick Jonas' song "The Author" pictures God as the writer of our lives — and that's our doorway into one of the most comforting truths in all of Scripture: the doctrine of divine providence.
In this episode, we'll:
- Unpack the difference between God's sovereignty (who He is) and His providence (what He does)
- Trace providence back to its very first appearance in Genesis 22 — "The Lord will provide"
- Follow it forward to the ultimate provision: Jesus
- Wrestle with free will and God's sovereignty (and why God says "both/and" where we see "either/or")
- Discover why providence often only makes sense when you "read it backward"
- Land on the truth that changes everything: God is for you
Because if the Father holds the Author's pen over your life, there's one thing you need to know above all else — He is for you.
