Coincidence

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Coincidence - A coincidence is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances which have no apparent causal connection with each other.

How many of you believe in coincidences?

I for one do not. Why, because, I firmly believe that with God there are no coincidences.

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

If there is one thing the Bible clearly teaches, it is that there are NO coincidences with God. There are so many outside elements that you have no control over in your life, starting with your birth, ending with your death, and including everything that transpires in between those two events. You should have confidence and assurance that everything that is happening in your life today is part of His Divine plan for your life. This is where faith come sin, as well.

It is no accident you live where you live, you work where you do, you play where you play, or shop where you shop. It is no accident the people that are in your life are there. You see, there are NO coincidences with God, things just don't "happen." There is a Divine purpose and reason for each and everything that goes on in our life. That includes the good and bad things.

Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

We never know how or when God will deliver us from trouble, or how He will bless us. Your job is to hold on to your faith, continue to praise Him in spite of the problems, and know He will never leave us nor forsake us. The Bible tells us that there will be times our faith is tested and it is in those times our faith becomes real to us, and grows. We grow more spiritually in the valley than we ever could on the mountaintop. It is in the valley that we recognize God as our only source of hope and learn how to trust Him. It is those times in the valley where it is just us and God that we realize how much He loves us.

Know today that God is with you, that nothing in your life is an accident, and that God is in control.

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." Jeremiah 29:11
