Expositio I — Fatherly Governance, Not Chance

This section establishes the foundational truth that God actively sustains and governs all things with wisdom and fatherly care, not by chance, blind force, or impersonal fate. It clarifies that all events—both ordinary and extraordinary—exist within His providential order, correcting common errors about randomness and self-sufficiency. The student is led to understand reality as personally governed by God and to begin interpreting life with trust rather than anxiety.
