Years ago, a mathematical formula was developed to determine the odds of all the appropriate factors necessary to create and sustain life. The determination was that it is virtually impossible. In other words, there are a lot of scientific coincidences that are sustaining your life right now. If you believe that life is a product of time and chance, then you will likely be an evolutionist. If you believe, however, in a personal God who is sovereign over creation and orchestrates everything for His glory, then you will be a creationist, regardless of whether or not you physically see His hand.

In our text this week, David will face all kinds of circumstances, both good and evil. While we don’t physically see the hand of God, and we may not even see His name, God is orchestrating it all. God is behind all of it, bringing it all together towards the completion of His perfect will. This is a critical lesson and principle for our lives. Like David, you will face all kinds of situations and circumstances, and you must decide before those things occur. Does life hinge upon a bunch of luck and coincidences? Or is there a personal, almighty, holy God who loves you and is sovereign over every aspect of your life, orchestrating every event according to His plan for His glory? When we come to a place of trusting in God and believing in His Son, Jesus, who died for our sins, we are then able to trust God’s heart even when we can’t see His hand. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we look to God and His Word and rest in His sovereign grace. — Pastor Chad
