What saith my Stars?

I am currently writing a paper on God (or the lack of God) in Esther and His providence.
One of the pieces of evidence that scholars have come to see as God's hand in the book of Esther is the many "far-fetched" coincidences.



Now here i am... sitting in what could be a nothing, wondering how to distinguish between a mere coincidence and God's hand in our lives (or more specifically for this point in time: in My life).

Or perhaps there is NO such thing as coincidence and everything is God at work.
Though these ideas running through my head may not be anything but my over-imaginative mind at work (on the wrong things). God could have nothing to do with it and me... and nothing is or will ever to come of it.


Returned glances are nothing special.
People make changes in their lives all the time.
My nosy, curious mind at work moves from topic to topic daily... so this is, in all likelihood, a "flavour of the week" sorta thing . . . Acting solely as yet another distraction from the ever-growing pile of things i must do.

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

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall you call upon Me, and you shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. And you shall seek Me, and find Me, when you shall search for Me with all of your heart."
Jeremiah 29:11-13

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55:8-9

Praying for you sweetheart!
