Providence

Rom 8:28 - And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

You must look back and see My hand in all that has happened to you.

The Book of Esther has the unique distinction of being the only book of the Bible that does not specifically mention God. Instead, there is just one amazing coincidence after another that can only be attributed to Divine Providence.

Providence is when you are singing a soft love song to God under a starry summer sky while trying to get a fussy baby with colic to sleep. And at the precise end of the last note of your song, you look up and see a perfectly timed meteor as it cuts a graceful arc across the heavens!

Providence is when you struggle through tangled emotions and fears to make a difficult decision to do what is right. And at the very moment you finalize your decision, a bright red cardinal in a nearby bush begins singing joyfully!

Providence is when the traffic light turns green but the engine of your van stalls. (It's never done that before!) And before you can restart it, a speeding car from the opposite direction runs the red light. If your engine had NOT stalled, this car would have smashed into the side of your van. Then you turn around and take a long look at your children who are sitting behind you in the van ....

Providence is when you ask God if the words forming in your heart are just your own imagination or really from Him, and a tiny dewdrop in the grass lights up like Christmas!
