Have you heard people say it was an coincidence that I was stuck at the stop light and just ahead of me was a bad accident. By coincidence, my plane was late at leaving the airport and another one crashed close by. Just by coincidence I got a phone call just as I was leaving the house and it put me way late. And on my way to work there was an accident. It was a coincidence that I wasn't right in the middle of that bad accident. Well, wake up people!!! There is no such thing as a coincidence!!! God is in the middle of it all. God know what He is doing. He know how to delay us to prevent us from being in a terrible accident. He know how to stall us so we will miss a tragedy if it is in His will! So the next time you want to use the word "coincidence" just remember God is the one in control, if he wants you to miss an accident He will delay you, hinder you, stall you, hurry you up. There is all kinds of ways that God uses to protect us.
Just this Sunday night, my son and daughter-in-law and my husband and I were getting a bite of supper after church. They were discussing what Bible Study they were wanting to start with their youth they work with at our church. We were talking away and my daughter-in-law, said I just read that this certain Bible Study is great! Just as she called the name, the waitress came up with some of our food and said, I have taken that Bible Study at my church youth group. They asked her if she enjoyed it and how old she was. She was 19 and she said it was really good. When she left we all looked at one another and said WOW! That is awesome!! God just answered our prayer before we really got down to asking.!!! Now, coincidence???? NAH!!!! God and totally God! It is awesome when God speaks to us that way.

No, i don't think it was a coincedence. That was God straight up. Things happen for a reason and I believe that everything is in God's hands. He made those incidents so that you would be late and not be in that terrible accident. God is an awesome God and He definitely protects His children in mysterious ways. Thank God for protecting you and saving you from those awful accidents/ Praise God

I totally agree with you! There is no such thing as a coincidence! It's all God's doing. Over and over again this happens to us in our daily lives, and too many people just take it for granted.
I say, Thank God! Thank God when things happen like that!

Isn't God wonderful. All we have to do is trust and obey him and he does the rest. He is so amazing and worthy of our praise. He comes right in the nick of time and gathers his children in his arms and makes everything alright.
Coincidence should not even be a word at all, because with God, there is no such thing. Coincidence should probably be a hollywood word that you only hear in the movies.

it's nice that you posted this mama. i agree completely.
i know the nay-sayers question that if God saved them from that accident, why did the other people get in the accident? and when people die, "oh they were so young and good hearted, why would God take them, and not some of these bad bad people here on earth instead?"
everyone has their "time" here on earth. some people's time only last for a few years, or last until they're a hundred or so. it's all God's plan, and we have to trust in His will. those that die, say at 18, lived their full life, believe it or not. they did what they needed to while here, and finished their job. i know it makes no sense but that's how it is. and we cannot question God's will. we may never know why some people die and other's don't in situations. we just have to be forgiving and trusting.
i believe that everything happens for a reason. look back at your lives and recall the "coincidences" and try to link them all in some way. that's God working. you have to just realize it and see it for yourselves!
