Divine Intervention or Coincidence?

     As I ran errands today, I came heard a conversation on the KLOVE FM radio station. I jumped into my hot car (due to it being 111 degrees here today), and heard a caller saying how when we are doing what we do in alignment with God's will for us, rather than our own desires, we will feel satisfaction in our situation. He and the announcers agreed that we often want things that are not what God wants for us and when we finally let go and line up with God's direction then we have the right interactions in our lives.
     A story earlier in the day was proof (also part of a Living Proof Ministries competition) of how God works in our lives when we are calling on Him and believing Him for the outcomes He knows are best for us. The story was that a woman went to see a dining room table she saw advertised on Craigslist. When she viewed the table she exclaimed a "thank you to God" for how beautiful the table was and the seller asked if she was a Christian. After a conversation, the seller noted she had lost her job and was having to sell off her belongings to make ends meet. The women agreed to pray about her situation and did so via text messages for two months, at which point, the seller got a job at the buyer's place of work!
     My mom told me about a woman she used to work with that had breast cancer. She did need a mastectomy on one breast and chemotherapy. She refused the chemo and retreated to her bed for months. During that time she picked up a Bible and read a scripture about being healed by God and claimed that scripture for her life. When she returned months later to her doctor, she was completely healed of all her cancer! She did not need any further procedures and was giving God the credit for her healing.

     Are these coincidences or divine interventions? I believe God intervenes in the lives of those who call on His name in faith. Praise God for the healing of my mom's friend and the job for the seller of the dining room table. Praise God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon me, my family and friends. Amen!

Happy Birthday Mom! You are a wonderful mom and a lovely lady. My mom enjoys gardening, singing, games, reading and most of all family. May God bless her this day with a special gift that only He can give her. I love you Mom!
