Divine Ordering!
"The steps of a good man are ordered
by the Lord, and He delights in his way."
Psalm 37: 23
Divine coincidence is an economic theory referring “to the
property of New Keynesian models that there is no trade-
off between the stabilization of inflation and of the welfare-
relevant output gap … for central banks.”
Don’t worry if you don’t understand
that; economists don’t either!
Nor can we talk about “divine coincidence” in a biblical
sense. The word coincidence implies randomness and
chance. There are no coincidences for God’s children.
Instead, let’s talk about divine ordering. God personally orders
and arranges our steps. Nothing can happen to us by accident.
Even adverse incidents become part of His long-term strategy
for our good. The God of the universe is involved in
our lives.
According to 2 Chronicles 8:16, Solomon built the temple of
the Lord according to a master blueprint: “Now all the work
of Solomon was well-ordered from the day of the
foundation
of the house of the Lord until it was finished.”
You are God’s temple, and His blueprint
for your life leaves nothing to chance.
"How comprehensive is the love of Jesus! There is no part of
His people’s interests which He does not consider, and there
is nothing which concerns their welfare which is not important
to Him."
Charles H. Spurgeon
