Understanding the distinction between coincidence and providence reveals the depth of God's involvement in our lives. While coincidences are unplanned events that appear arranged, providence represents God's intentional guidance and planning. The life of Moses serves as a powerful example of divine providence, from his miraculous preservation as an infant to his preparation for leadership in Midian. God's providence operates through both major life events and subtle daily occurrences, working even when we least expect or deserve it - a demonstration of His grace. This can be seen in life transitions, seemingly random encounters, precise timing, and protection from harm. By recognizing these moments of providence, we can better appreciate God's active role in shaping our circumstances and leading us toward His purposes. His providence extends beyond individual lives to impact families and generations, showing the far-reaching nature of His divine plan.
“Exodus is an epic tale of fire, sand, wind, and water,” writes Philip Graham Ryken. And in every one of these epic scenes, and throughout the entire book of Exodus, the main character – the star of this drama – is GOD and GOD ALONE. In fact, the dominant theme of this book’s 40 chapters is KNOWING GOD. God wants us to have a deeper knowledge of Him. So, in word and action, both boldly and quietly, God reveals truth about Himself in the book of Exodus, and the truth God reveals, if we receive it and believe it, has the power to transform our lives.
