Psalms 103:19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all.
I have to admit that when I hear a born again follower of Jesus use words like "chance, coincidence, or luck", I cringe. Why, you ask? Well, because we have a God who is sovereign, and is in control of all things. There is nothing that our Lord does not know, even before any of it happens. Before any one of us came to be, the Lord already knew us, and had a plan for our lives. Our God is not somewhere far off, watching us live life, without caring about what happens to us on a daily basis. Quite the opposite is true. Jesus is with us, every day, up close and personal. The Lord knows every little detail of yesterday's, today's, and tomorrow's life events and circumstances. He promised never to leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), and also promised that He would work all things together for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:28). The bottom line is that in Christ we never walk alone. In good times, tough times, sad times, times of mourning, and times of celebration, Jesus walks with us. So, is there really any such things as chance, coincidence, or luck? No, no, no...our God is always in control, even when things appear to be out of control. His sovereignty, His Kingdom, rule over all. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is ever out of His control, down to every heartbeat and every breath we take.
Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Rom 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive Him and His free gift of salvation today (Rom 10:13).
