It follows nicely what I've posted earlier, just about 16 hours ago. After Bible Study with Mr. Lian it all came together matched conveniently with my thoughts former. Like I said, its more convenient.. not coincident.
Romans 8:28
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
Now, there is nothing on earth that happened in coincidence! Mr. Lian suggested that there is no such thing as luck. Everything can be explained and calculated! A mathematician would say that a roll of dice is by chance.. If you roll a fair dice square enough, the chance for each number to be shown on top would always be 1/6. Throw it frequently enough, it proves that the mathematician is right! There is chances of change~!
But a Physicist would never agree. A dice throw is heavily dependant on all interacting forces that can be precisely calculated, velocity and force of throw, mid air interacting forces, impact and the degree of spin, then the bounce rates of the materials, centrifugal spin velocities... all that and much more can be calculated. And if for one case that such a throw would result in number 3, a perfect replication of this throw would give us 3 again! So is there chance?
I like how Mr. Lian put it. “Chance is the admission of our human finiteness. We don’t compute what actually happens behind that chance.
I believe, God is in control of all things.
Luke 12:7
“But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are more valuable than many sparrows”
And such is my confidence.

Amen and amen...
Can anything happen by the power of 'chance'?
Not a chance! The Lord is in control. RC Sproul wrote a good book on the concept of chance in science in a book by that name
Will link up to ur blog!
Thanks Dave~! I'll link to your confessions as well...
God Bless~!
