Curious thing when everything falls into place. Often, it might look like the hand of God is at work. Many consider the pieces clicking to be a sign of His will, and most times that is so. But couldn't aligned stars also be something other?
That man with the troubled marriage. One day that attractive co-worker begins flirting, and suddenly they're assigned a work trip together, and one thing leads to another, and is that the hand of God? That woman with the debt and the shopping addiction who works in finance, and suddenly a new accounting process gives her easy access to untracked loose cash, and one paid debt later, and is that the hand of God? That person who longs to begin a new life because this one is too hard, and suddenly there is this chance to pick up and leave and that temptation matches the desire of his heart, and is that the hand of God?
God's a Shepherd with a staff used for correction. You'll know if it was His will not at the start, but down the road when either reward or consequence comes your way. Easy to interpret those initial events as something divine. Easy to forget that liar is as clever as they come.
