The rough gales expected down the east coast do not sound like a blessing. But in the circumstances, the half moon does sound like a blessing (relatively low tides).
People say, ‘lucky to be alive’ when they are been unlucky to be in the accident at all.
I’m tempted to say it is all just random, and divine blessing or lady luck has nothing to do with it. And so it is, but we are blessed by God to live in the world with consistent laws – and even randomness has its own laws.
And … when I read this;- “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28), two things cross my mind – we are in relationship with God, and God can rescue meaning from any situation … and secondly, God is bigger than time itself – when is just weird even to think about.
