Have you ever had mind blowing moments in your life, where you could not explain how a particular thing happened and why? I’m sure you have. Let me break certain things down. Allow me to proceed from our own universe; look at the entire universe, where we called space. I read a newsletter from actsweb.com and in the script, the writer made a reference to a book he had read by a scientist Lambert Dolphin Jr, “The Search for the Ultimate”. In his words, “Confronted every day with the mysteries of space and the atom, I continue to be amazed at the complexity and order of our universe. From the sub-microscopic realm of the atom to the expanding reaches of the galaxies, our universe runs like intricate and well-oiled clockwork according to great physical laws which never change or falter.”

Why I’m I bringing this in, you see we live in a world in a small part we call Earth, which is embedded in other beautiful creations. Looking at everything, the sun, the moon, the stars, other planets; I realize that everything is in order. I recognized that there’s a master creator behind all this. I can’t imagine that all things came into being by itself, I mean how? Come down here to our own earth; we discover man (you and I) putting up state of the art buildings, manufacturing cars and many others; even with not so perfect man, things are a bit in order:) and imagine a whole world that is in order; that you wake up every morning, and the sun rises normally, you are still breathing, your house is not floating (then I come to think of gravity) :) . Everything moves in order, planned and someone gets up and thinks that he arrived here by some BIG BANG! So, so so….excuse me to say that’s very silly.

Yesterday for instance a friend shared with me something that really made me realize that we just don’t live by ourselves. She had been expecting something for five years. In her own words, “five good years, Edwin I have been waiting,” it was just yesterday, apparently just five minutes before I called her, and she was lost for words…you call that coincidence, no I call that God! You think the single mum that is thinking about how to feed her children and suddenly one cousin or aunt turns up at her door one day and says, “I have been looking for you for years now, finally I have found you…take these things and take care of yourself.” You think that is coincidence, no! That’s God! Take the young girl for instance who is very good in school but her parents do not have to money to further her education, so she has to stop school and then out of nowhere she earns that scholarship; you think that’s good luck. No! That’s God!

Look at your life even, you haven’t fallen sick, even if you did you miraculously become healed, the doctor didn’t find any trace of that disease. Actually he is surprised because the tests revealed that you were never sick and he lost for words…you think that happened by chance. Once again, no! That’s God! You have always been praying to God for something for a while now, maybe something little, like a phone, then one day your dad who told you he couldn’t buy you the phone you wanted comes home one day and hands it to you. You think dad has now got the money, my dear, no! God happened! Those things that happen in our life that we can’t explain, but we know it couldn’t have been by chance, actually nothing happens by chance, there’s a reason behind every thing, behind every person, every creature. The fact that you haven’t found the reason doesn’t mean it is useless. Imagine a boy that applied to go to the university, and with this university, the particular course he wants to do has so many other applicants running after it. When he gets that admission letter with his desired course you call that a coincidence, No! I don’t I think so. God happened. Think for instance about those that didn’t get that course, but ended up doing something else and they excel so much in it. They now even realize that they had a talent and skill in the course or job they did not even consider. You think that it was by chance he didn’t get what he wanted or maybe then God did not answer his prayer. God did answer his prayer, but the details changed. That’s not coincidence.

Everywhere you find yourself, every place you are, every thing that happens around you is not by luck. Look for that deeper meaning; you will realize that “something” was behind it. Sometimes certain things happen that we can’t explain; “why she didn’t come when she promised?” “Why was I late to work?” (I’m not saying, go late to work but when you are, look for that deeper meaning, maybe you may not find it, but probably few hours early that day you would not have been living), “why did my son fail the test?” “Why wasn’t I taken for the job, I thought I did well on the interview?” “Why has it taken all the while?” Yet still, God happened, that’s the simple explanation.

I will end by a simple story of myself; it was when I was in grade 6. Normally I used to wait for my parents to finish dressing and they drop me off at a certain point and then I continue on foot to school. Well, this particular morning, that was the same thing going to be done, but after I finish taking in breakfast, my parents were almost done dressing up but I went and told them, “today I’m not going with you, I want to walk to school.” My school was a fifteen minute walk. I loved to walk and I still do. My mother was surprised because I rarely walked to school in the mornings and besides they were almost done. She even tried to convince me to wait a little but she couldn’t hold me back. Guess what? I came back later home from school only to be told that my parents were involved in a car accident! Yea! And what was more surprising was that it happened just near where I would have got down continuing on foot. The other car slammed into the side of the car where I usually sat, and mind you, I never changed sitting places in the car, always the same seat. “My parents?” Actually, nothing happened to them, they left the car and went on to work, safe and sound. Yes, guess what I was thinking; imagine if I went to school that day with them? The rest is for you to decide…. You think that was coincidence, certainly not! That is God! Ask me what happened, why I didn’t feel like going with them that day, I will tell you, “God happened!” Why? Because quite frankly, I don’t understand what went on. I know this scripture in the Bible that could sum it all up. Ephesians 2:9 which says, “But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those that love Him.” That’s the answer, you just can’t understand it. God Himself says those things cannot even be imagined with our human eyes.

Someone once wrote in a book that there’s some space in man that only God can fill. Though we don’t see it, deep inside each and every one of us we know there’s a divine God around us, who oversees all. Look at the atheist; he even knows there’s a God that’s why he spends all his time trying to disprove that fact. My pal, if you don’t get it, that’s God! :)
