Welcome to another day in the Upper Room. So glad you could keep a date with us.
Albert Einstein says, "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous." In other words, "coincidence is God choosing to hide." Do you agree? There are no coincidences. There are only causes and effects. That Is the way God created His universe.
The sister to coincidence is serendipity (luck). This has been long disproved. Serendipity does not exist outside of cause and effect. So get off your butt and get working. Getting moving. Get all you can do today. That is your cause. Tomorrow holds your effects.
This morning, I couldn't wait to go share with a friend the possible solution to a challenge she shared with me yesterday. As much as I provided a possible way forward for her, I did not leave empty. Our discussion led to a challenge I also have which she has a possible solution for.
Call it luck if you want to. Call it serendipity, if that makes you happy or happier. The core of it is that it is an effect. It occurred because I stepped out to give. I did not come back empty. How many more opportunities do we waste each day in self-pity? Our answer is in giving, not sulking.
Let's pray.
The Saint.
