Chance, accident, or luck!

   ~ ~ ~ ~


"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows!" Matthew 10:29-31

"God who feeds the sparrows, will not starve His saints! God controls all the concerns of His people, even of those that are most minute, and least regarded. This is an encouragement to live in a continual dependence upon God's providential care! If God numbers our hairs, much more does He number our heads. He takes care of our lives, our needs, our concerns, and our souls. God's universal providence extends itself to all creatures, and to all their actions--even the smallest and most minute!" (Matthew Henry)
"Nothing can happen in this world without God's permission. There is no such thing in reality, as chance, accident, or luck!" (J.C. Ryle)
Scripture everywhere teaches that even the minutest details of life are of divine ordering! (Louis Berkhof)
