Many limit the divine Providence, and divorce mercy and love from his character. They urge that the greatness and majesty of God would forbid his interesting himself in the concerns of the weakest of his creatures. "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not, therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."

Mange begrænser det guddommelige Forsyn, og skiller barmhjertighed og kærlighed fra sin karakter. De fremhæver at Guds storhed og majestæt vil forbyde hans interesse for det der angår de svageste af hans skabninger. ”Sælges ikke to spurve for en skilling? Og ikke én af dem falder til jorden, uden at jeres fader er med den. Men på jer er selv alle hovedhår talt. (Matt.10,31) Frygt derfor ikke, I er mere værd end mange spurve.”
