Coincidence
Or Watch Care?
|
A senior executive worked in central London, who had a keen interest in Christian things. One day when he was expecting an important business message, a sudden call to God's business took him away from his place of work. Dealing with the concern took longer than expected, and there were problems with transport for getting back. He returned anxiously, long after the time when his message was expected. The message itself had been delayed even more. It arrived just five minutes after he got back. A coincidence - or an example of God's care? Later on, this man was looking at a picture (this was in the
1930s) of our galaxy 'as it is revealed to the eye of the star-camera.
Myriads on myriads of flaming suns, remote beyond our comprehension, yet
each in its appointed place, obedient to one tremendous Law. Could I
accept the argument that the Giver of the Law was the Father whom Christ
proclaimed; that the Intelligence which numbered and named the stars was
the Love which as surely took count of the sparrows; that regardless of
class or nation or creed, each one of this world's two thousand million
souls was individually known to that Intelligence and individually cared
for by that Love?' |
