As the providence of God does, in general, reach to all creatures; so, after a most special manner, it takes care of His Church, and disposes all things to the good thereof.
Following upon all the statements above regarding God's providential superintendence of his creation, the Confession concludes this topic by observing that God has a special providential interest in his church. The Father is busy preparing a bride suitable for his Son, spotless and blameless and radiant. So all circumstances are directed toward this one object. He disposes all things to her good, just as Paul states in Romans 8:28.
