Have you ever had unusual experience that defies logic? I was channel surfing and stopped at a TV show. One of the main characters was named Grace. Then I went to a different program and a woman named Grace was a part of the episode. Then I turned to a third sitcom and an actor appeared – you guessed it – Grace.
I yelled at the TV. “Grace occurred 3 times!” How did this run together? Did the planets align for a moment? It seems like mere chance. But was it? God is constantly speaking to us – sometimes in ways we haven’t considered. In doing so, He is trying to convey His peace and presence into our lives.
Grace appeared 3 times in one evening. Translation: God wants me to pay careful attention.
In 1 Samuel 6 the Philistines hitched 2 cows to a cart carrying the Ark of the Covenant. The cows had never pulled a cart. Yet when they were released, the cows without any help, went directly to a field near Joshua. He received the Ark with joy.
Was this a coincidence or an event orchestrated by a Living God? Why would God do such a thing? It displays how powerful and present The Lord is in our lives.
The Lord likes to speak “outside the box.” Our challenge is to be aware when He does. God does this because He wants us to change our expectations how we see and meet Him.
When an event is different from the norm, it makes an impact. God promises to share His love, presence and kindness. Sometimes He presents Himself in ways we had not considered. He calls upon us to fine tune our ability to read these spiritual messages and receive enlightenment.
Grace = love and mercy given to us by God. We should expect special moments for The Lord to speak to us.
He promises coincidences.
