Coincidence?

Coincidence: A remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.

God is a sneaky guy, either that or we're just oblivious to some of His signs. I think the word, coincidence, is a very common excuse for Christianity. It seems to me that non-believers all think that whatever happens even if it is something so obvious as a billboard on the highway that reads "I am here -Jesus" that it is all just a coincidence. But I see it in a completely different way. I believe God has very clever ways of popping up and sometimes you can only see it if you're thinking about it.

Last night while sitting in bed I was thinking about how much I would really love to read a chapter out of 1 Timothy but unfortunately I had no lamp beside my bed and I decided that the next day (today) I would get a reading light. Well a while back my mom ordered me a lamp that I had completely forgotten about because it was several weeks ago when she ordered it and today it came in.

A lot of people, even Christians, would say that in this situation it is just a coincidence but if you ask me, God just wanted to let me know that He wants me to keep readin'. Moral to the story is, if you think God doesn't make His presence known in your life, maybe you're not looking for Him hard enough or maybe there's just a casual connection that you're missing but I promise you, He's there.



Coincidence? I think not.
