Time and Chance

The race is not to the swift

Nor the battle to the strong,

Nor bread to the wise,

Nor riches to men of understanding,

Nor favor to men of skill:

But time and chance happen to them all.

Ecclesiates 9:11

This showed up on one of my favorite blogs. Her devotion on it has been stuck in my mind.

How many times in our lives has "Time and Chance" been a factor and we did not even acknowledge that perhaps God had placed us there and then for such a time.

We never know when the God of Time and Chance will say,

"This is YOUR day! This is YOUR time! This is YOUR race!

God will put you in a position to succeed if you just keep preparing yourself.

Give all your best to God and let Him take care of the outcome.

He will put you in the right place at the right time.

He will give you the opportunities you've been waiting for.

Except that we believe in the God of Time and Chance,

who holds victory in His Hands.
