My mom used to tell me, "Coincidence is God acting anonymously."
He is not anonymous, there is no coincidence. Though, coincidentally, calling Yah (YHVH, Yahweh, the Lord, THE Almighty, Our Father Who Art) Generic God with a capital G and crediting His blessings to coincidence do render Him somewhat anonymous in the world today.
"I was really lucky to find money in the dryer." No, I was blessed.
"Look at those beautiful fall leaves, I love Mother Nature." There is no mother nature, Our Father is the "Father of Lights" (James/Yakov 1:17). We are taught as children that the actual definition of color is, according to Merriam Webster, "a phenomenon of light." Yahveh Elohim (Almighty) FATHERED the color of the autumn leaves and PUT US HERE TO SEE IT. How do you think He feels when we thank "Mother Nature"?
COINCIDENTALLY that other thing more commonly attributed to "Mother Nature"? Yah CREATED it so we could bring forth real live beautiful little people from our bodies that are little more than dust...
"Thank goodness I didn't get pulled over when I didn't have my wallet!" HalaluYah!
"Thank Heavens. " Thank the Creator of the Heavens.
From childhood, we're taught to look to Horoscopes (I'm a Pisces), to Numbers (lucky #7 which also COINCIDENTALLY is the number of completion in scripture....), Santa Claus, and Dear Abbey for direction, luck, answers, and rewards.
The best thing I've ever done in life is ditch all of the self-help books in exchange for THE BOOK (The King James Bible). To no longer leave my life to chance or "the hand I've been dealt," but to learn to give thanks in everything (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
I stopped to see the miracles.
