Concerning God, His Works, Providence:

"This term, in its widest application, signifies the Divine Presence in the world as sustaining, controlling, and guiding to their destination all things that are made. The will of God determines the end for which His creatures exist; His wisdom and His goodness appoint the means by which that end is attained: in the conservation of the frame of nature, in the care of all creatures that have wants, in the government especially of intelligent and probationary beings; and His power ensures the accomplishment of every design."--Pope

The universe as such is the object of conservation. What God has brought into being is continued in existence by His omnipresent agency.

Neh 9:6; Psa 36:6; 66:9; Isa 63:9; Act 17:28; Col 1:17; Hbr 1:3

That part of creation which is the subject of wants is the object of ceaseless providential care.

Gen 48:15; 2Sa 22:2,3; Psa 23:5; 147:9; Pro 16:9; Mat 5:45; 6:26,30; Luk 12:6,7; Act 14:17; 1Pe 5:7

That part of creation which consists of intelligent or probationary creatures is the object of providential government.

Psa 37:23; 66:12; Pro 16:7,9; Isa 33:22; Dan 4:17; Mat 6:33; 7:24-27; Mar 10:29,30; Luk 6:47-49; Act 5:38,39; Rom 8:28; Jam 4:12
