Is it Luck or Coincidence or Something Else?

Philippians 4:19:  "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus".

Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose".

Has it ever seemed to you that some people always get the breaks in life?  How often have you heard someone say "Boy, was I lucky today!"  OR "What a coincidence that this money came in the mail today just when I needed it"?  Sometimes it sure seems like some people are favored more than others.  It also seems that some people are just in the right place at the right time, and good things happened to them. 

Think about the words "luck" and "coincidence".  The word "luck" means "the things that happen to a person because of chance; the accidental way things happen without being planned".  "Coincidence" means "the occurrence of events that happen at the same time by accident but seem to have some connection".

I don't believe that God does anything by accident or chance.  I believe in God and His mighty power 
to supply all of our needs and work all things together for the good of those He has called to His 
purpose.
