Prov-i-dence
(prov'i-dens), noun. [Latin: providentia < providere.]
1. [capitalized] God Himself (eg: "Vigilant over all that He has made, Kind Providence attends with gracious aid": Cowper's Table Talk, 249). 2. The foreseeing care and guardianship of God over His creatures. 3. A manifestation of God's care or direction (eg: "There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow": Shakespeare's Hamlet, v. 2. 231). 4. An occurrence or circumstance regarded as specially ordained by God (eg: "I sincerely gave thanks to God for opening my eyes, by whatever afflicting providences, to see the former condition of my life": Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, i. 8). He that acknowledges a creation and denies a providence, involves himself in a palpable contradiction; for the same Power which caused a thing to exist is necessary to continue its existence. Some persons admit a general providence,but deny a particular providence, not considering that a general providence consists of particulars. A belief in divine providence, is a source of great consolation to good men.
