What do you do with the idea of circumstance? Do you ponder the statistical and mathematical probability of congruent events, laugh it off as chance occurrence or do you see God’s ordered participation in your lives? How would it change your walk with God if each time you prayed, you consistently recognized an orderly procession of events leading up to a meeting with the right person, the exact amount of money that you needed arriving or you received confirmation of questions? Oh, that has been happening all your life. Has it brought you to greater faith, greater prayer time or a willingness to dig deeper into the mysteries of God’s Word? If none of these things have occurred then have you perhaps missed the potency that “NO” coincidences has been meant to show you.
What would happen if each time you were delayed it created a circumstance where you were exactly in the right place and time to meet a person who needed your help or had some specific information to give you? Would it alleviate your frustration at things not going fast enough, losing your keys, driving in traffic or simply waking up a bit late? Would the panic resolve, the upset go away, would your speech and your treatment of others change significantly? How would your behavior alter if you knew God “always” heard and not only worked on your prayers but had an orderly procession of events planned to bring you to “His” desired outcomes in this life? Do you believe God?
I am not a victim but a willing participant in God’s Plan for my life. I expect Him to show up, in events, in people in signs and symbols. I have become a child awaiting Christmas morning every day of my life. The joy of anticipation is addicting. The people, places and mysteries that show up or unfold in my life are sometimes overwhelming to tears. I am being used in a huge way for the Kingdom because I have asked the Lord to use me that way and I expect that He will. The end result is these days I am “ready” for these occurrences and being in a state of wakefulness I don’t missed the Diving Opportunities within. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not be in want. In Jesus’ Name.
