mark 4
11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them
think of a theater stage.everyone is backstage, every now and then someone notices a coincidence. most think nothing of it. the crowd can see through the curtain, the performers cannot. at any moment the curtain can go up and they will be in front of the audience. will they be prepared for the spot light?
we are all connected by the Holy Spirit. anytime you notice the Spirit at work, you think its a coincidence. when you think, hey that's odd that this has happened more than once. you shouldn't consider it a coincidence. if you keep getting struck by lighting, maybe there is a bit more to why that is.
to refer to anything as luck is but another name for coincidence. its a way of taking something out of the ordinary and making it something ordinary. has anyone heard of the story of Moses? how did the pharaoh react to the lucky coincidences sent by God? how did people respond to the coincidences around Jesus? if you don't take notice of the little miracles your seeing, how will you notice the bigger miracles. once you do notice, you will be amazed at how big it all is. a collective consciousness working in all of humanity, called The Holy Spirit.
if you think God cannot coincide your thoughts to an incoming phone call or to a song that's playing next on the radio, how can you believe in any of the miracles of the bible that are far greater examples. what is the bible but a book about how God, his Son and the Holy Spirit, are working with all of humanity.
not every now and then, not from time to time, but every second of every minute of everyday in everyone and everything around us. its a shame more people don't accept that they can experience the bible. i guess that kind of thinking isn't rational to most people. you are missing out on seeing the love of God at work in humanity. all of heaven and all of earth sing with resounding joy to the glory of God. you are too, whether you think its a coincidence or not.
no wonder a song your humming is being played on the radio, or thinking about someone when they call you.

muse- song, starlight, imagine my shock as a child when i learned jim henson was speaking and not kermit the frog. imagine my shock as an adult when i heard the holy spirit speaking through jim henson. they don't even have to be Christians. now think on this and listen to the song. open your heart to me, by madonna. look at how hard the Spirit is trying to get us to listen. it is the very breath of humanity and the soul of love and creation of art. then re read mark 4 vs 11-13. its been there all along your whole life. the seeds are all right there in your personal collection from the garden.
or its just a coincidence?....
