Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
This verse has been misinterpreted and misused many time over the years.
Nevertheless, if you will, you can see the hand of God in ordinary circumstances.
This was our experience on Thursday morning at the New Beginnings Men’s Bibles Study.
- Maybe it was a coincidence when Eric chose to walk into the New Beginnings Men’s Bible Study 3 years ago as a stranger to the group.
- Maybe it was a coincidence when he sat down in between two strangers, Claire and Danny, that morning.
- Maybe it was a coincidence that over the course of the next two years the Eric transitioned from stranger to acquaintance to real relationships with the men in that morning bible study group.
- Maybe it was a coincidence that Eric gained nine new friends who were formerly strangers that now missed him when he wasn’t there.
- Maybe it was a coincidence that when Eric shared that he had recently been diagnosed with throat cancer that the two strangers, Claire and Danny, that Eric sat in between that morning 3 years earlier were both cancer survivors.
- Maybe it was a coincidence that this group of new friends would pray for, check on, and encourage Eric as he began battling cancer.
- Maybe it was a coincidence that Eric would still come to New Beginnings Men’s Bible Study even when he was missing work and at home on short-term disability even though he was weak and weary during radiation treatments.
- Maybe it was a coincidence when Eric announced a few weeks ago, “Hey, I got really good news from the doctor last night, tests show that I am 100% cancer free.
- Maybe it was a coincidence that every man sitting around our table had eyes full of tears and hearts full of thanks.
Thank you God that You are at work in and through us today!
