When God says …
“The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the Lord.” (Proverbs 16:33 NKJV)
What we learn from this text is that God is truly sovereign over all things - all decisions are from Him. If we will look to Him in the midst of the choices that we make - we can know He is the one who guides us. This gives us much comfort, more peace than to think we are at the mercy of the whims of others or in a random world that only works in happenstance in every activity under the sun. We can live in this world guided and directed by the hand of the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Sovereign God, Who knows exactly what He is doing - and where He is going. That is, if only we choose to dwell in the Kingdom of God which is here, at hand (Mathew 4:17).
Yes, if only we abide by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, His mighty hand guides us through His great plans for us. Every decision we make has His mark on it. Nothing is for luck. It is always a conscious decision prompted by the Holy Spirit who is in us. We will step into His higher calling for our life - Not mediocre! Not ‘Que Sera Sera'!
So, let’s have our steps then be ordered by the Lord! He gives us this assurance: “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.” (Romans 8:29-30 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!
