You can either believe the timing in this story is a  coincidence or it is a God-incidence. There is really no way to convince a  person about this one way or the other. It comes down to your beliefs.
I believe this story is filled with God-incidents. I  believe the Lord is orchestrating things to work out to His end, which is to  save His people. And I love the way God works quietly. God works and we give  Him the praise.
Rather than leave this morning’s time with the  Lord in the ancient world, I pushed the channel button in my mind and began  thinking about my life and the many God-incidents in my life. 
·          Meeting and connecting and  eventually marrying my wife. 
·          The amazing way God opened the  doors to my work in 
·          My life transition from  engineering to pastoral ministry.
·          My coming to faith… all of  the God-incidents along the path to belief.
On and on my mind floated from one God-incident in my life to another.  I am thankful for each one. They have changed my life and my focus. 
God is at work and it is good to pause and recognize  His work.
I am so thankful I worship and serve the God of the  universe, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit revealed in the Bible the scriptures  of the Old and New Testaments!
I pray you know the Lord, too. If you have questions  about God drop me a comment or email…
Lord, as I walk  today, please open my eyes to Your workings in the world. Help me to see and  hear even a few of the ways You are active in the circle of life I will move in  today. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
