Happened to be there
August 27, 2018
Growing spiritually means becoming more aware that God is over all. Really over everything, big and small, known and unknown in our lives.
I’ve been pondering those little phrases that we rush over in Scripture.
“happened to be there” II Samuel 20: 1 a person emerges in your life, convenient or inconvenient
‘as it happened’ Ruth: 2: 3 the field where Ruth choose to glean grain
“it came to pass’ 65 times in the NT. Jesus critics sitting near him, Jesus in a certain city, He went into the mountain to pray.
What seems like a coincidence in King David’s life, in widow Ruth’s life was not. God was working His plan. Something good was about to happen. Each word in Scripture is there on purpose. These little phrases speak of our great God working.
