Special Providence

Special Providence refers to the idea that a divine or higher power guides the course of history and individual lives, ensuring that events happen for a purpose. It suggests that behind the apparent chaos and randomness, there is a purposeful plan orchestrated by this higher power, often associated with divine intervention or oversight. While it recognizes human free will, it also posits that a benevolent force subtly directs outcomes toward good or meaningful ends. This concept is commonly found in religious and philosophical beliefs, emphasizing that life’s events are not entirely left to chance but are under divine guidance.
