Serendipity, coincidence, chance, luck, or maybe divine planning and intervention; with all the beauty of the earth could it all just be “combinations of matter run amok?” To see a new born baby take his first breath and let out his first cry, and the proud parents who can’t believe something so beautiful just happened to them; or a double rainbow appearing from almost nowhere after a downpour of rain; or the wings of a butterfly so beautifully colorful and perfectly painted. Could it all just be a fluke or could something higher, something divine have a hand in it all?
At one time or another all of us have been “in the right place at the right time”. There are those moments of near death on the highway, where if you had just been ten seconds further down the road, you too would be in a tangled mess of metal. There are moments when at the last second you change your mind about which restaurant to go to and you end up meeting the greatest friend you’ll ever have. And there are those moments where a simple act of grace will change a life forever. After I had lived a little, witnessed a little, and experienced a little it got harder and harder to believe that all of this could just be one big cosmic ball of luck. How could so many great things around me and in this world just be wonderful stokes of fortune?
My determination is that universe isn’t a stroke of fortune or luck. There is divine intervention that has a hand in it all. I refuse to believe that so many wonderful things are left to chance. Whether or not humans evolved from fish or from the rib of a man; whether or not there was a big boom or a seven day creation; I believe it was all instigated and determined by a higher power, who precisely created the universe to be something beautiful and majestic. No matter what you believe, I urge you to open your eyes wide and see the beauty that surrounds you.
