For Such a Time as This

Everything happens for a reason. Albert Einstein said that “Coincidence is just God’s way of remaining anonymous.” Proverbs 16:33 says “The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.”

 If we were honest though, we don’t really live like that. We think we just happen to be here or in that job or living in that neighborhood or raising that family, rather than seeing our unique lot in life as our God given position and assignment in this very moment in time. We mostly think of God’s will as something we strive for in the future, not something we live in today.
