“Jesus, worn out by the trip, sat down at the well. It was noon. A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, ‘Would you give me a drink of water?’” (John 4:6-7 MSG)
During
this week of Thanksgiving, give some thought to this question: Is there such a
thing as coincidence?
In
Kingdom reality, there simply cannot be. Random doesn’t happen in God’s
Kingdom. Oswald Chambers says God is the Great Engineer, creating circumstances
to bring about moments in our lives of divine importance, leading us to divine
appointments.
Was it a
coincidence that Jesus came upon the woman at the well? Was she just a random
woman who walked into a discussion of God’s grace and omnipotence and then told
a whole village about God’s forgiveness? Would God have left that all to
chance?
Would he
do any less in the details of your life?
