On that night the king could not sleep. And he gave orders to bring the book of memorable deeds, the chronicles, and they were read before the king. And it was found written how Mordecai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.
Esther 6:1-2
Father God, Your timing amazes me. What are the odds that the night before Haman was going to petition the king to hang Mordecai that the king could not sleep and would have, of all things, the orders of memorable deeds brought to him to be read, and his servants would read about Mordecai’s service to the king? And what would be the odds that Haman would walk in at the exact moment that the king wanted someone to give him an idea on how to honor one who has done such a thing for the king? Only You, LORD, could construct such timing.
How many times have I seen this in my own life? How many times have “coincidences” lined up, where out of the blue things just worked out? These are Your fingerprints in the lives of Your people. Unspoken and unannounced, You show through the ordering of life’s events that You are active in making all things work together for good for me and those who love You.
I want to thank You, Father, for Your intimate care in my life, causing situations and circumstances just to work out. Only You could do this. I am amazed and grateful for all that You do and have done for me. Thank You, LORD. Thank You!
