Coincidence. . . a situation in which events happen at the same time in a way that is not
planned or expected; the occurrence of events that happen at the same time by
accident but seem to have some connection.
Believe in coincidence? I don’t!
This life, moment in time, season faced and decisions for this day hold
enormous meaning. Think about it. . .
I could sit here and provide example after
example to disprove coincidence. The
events appearing in our lives may feel way out of character or impossible, so
we claim it coincidence. Guess what my friends;
these moments in time are bigger than us. . .
Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” Luke 18:27
God can take any situation and
work it out for the good of those who love Him.
I hold various roles in life.
Many days, my ‘to do’ list informs that no hour will be left for
rest. Come to find out, all of it gets
done, peace overwhelms the day and I even have time to play a game or two with
the kids. You see, putting God as your
guide each day reveals what our fleshly minds deem as impossible. Man chalks the days up to coincidence, God
says, “Nope, had that day planned all along for you.”
For I know the
plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not
to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and
come and pray to me, and I
will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:11-12
How great it is to
know our Coach strategically planned the game of life for each of His
children. No day exist without purpose. Every moment in time packs meaning and when
looked at closely, offers strength and growth.
We may not prosper by the world’s definition, but trusting in His plans
will bring greater riches in life. He
will provide joy, peace and safety in storms.
Man chalks it up as fate, God says, “Nope, I analyzed and protected the
path laid for your life before guiding each step.”
Now to him who is
able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all
generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
Too often the world
receives glory for things only God could provide. He exceeds our prayers, leaves us standing in
awe and not a day goes by that He does not hear our hearts desires. Man cannot come close to providing what God
provides. The works of man remain
temporary, unpredictable, disappointing and leaves us just short of happy. The works of God provide stability, endurance
each day, satisfy any need and leave us overflowing with blessing. Man chalks any joy up to being in the right
place at the right time, God says, “Nope, I decided that one a long time ago
and take joy in seeing my child smile.”
Now, I know times
get tough and these Scriptures may seem so far away from thought. But, my dear friends; He remains at your side
waiting to hold your hand and guide you through any storm in life. He cannot stop the evil in this world. The Bible warns of trials and tribulations
faced while in the flesh. BUT, He
promises to bring us through, increasing our strength! Healing is possible with Him. Plans in the future hold huge meaning for His
Kingdom and prosperity cannot happen without Him. He holds power to go beyond what our fleshly
minds can concoct. His plan prevails. .
.nothing is coincidence. To Him be the
glory for this day and the adventure which lay ahead. His Hands are all over this day. Should a storm hit, He will bring or carry us
through. Should blessing overflow, He
desires to accompany and enjoy each one with you. Take Him with you today and stand in
confidence that He planned this day, connected each event and is not surprised
by the outcome.
Keep praying harder
than the devil can work. Sheree Craig
