NEVER use 運命 or 宿命 (unmei/shukumei, impersonal fate/destiny, very common secular vocabulary). 摂理 is a formal, somewhat unfamiliar theological term to secular readers (a biblical-illiteracy risk rather than a false-concept risk) but must be maintained: it names God’s personal, purposive governance, not impersonal fatalism.
