divine order
Heaven's intended arrangement
Divine order is the belief that the universe operates according to a purposeful, often God-ordained arrangement.
In religious contexts, it suggests everything unfolds according to a higher plan: Trust in the divine order of things.
The phrase can justify hierarchies—kings ruling by divine right, social classes fixed by heaven's design—or offer comfort that apparent chaos serves some greater purpose.
