In high school I played baseball as a first baseman. The left-handed batter was up and the pitcher was ready to deliver the pitch. Taking the right stance, but with my mind somewhere else, I heard the crack of the bat and something hit my mitt. Quickly examining my glove, I was astonished to find the baseball snuggled in its folds. Two steps to the bag and the runner was out.
Pretty proud of myself, I threw the ball back to the pitcher. Someone shouted, “Great catch.” I acknowledged that with a nod, all the time knowing Jupiter had to have been aligned with Mars.
That same principle is found in Scripture:
1 Kings 22:34
But a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel between the scale armor and the breastplate. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.”
This soldier wasn’t expecting to hit anything, but that arrow had the king’s name on it.
It’s a God thing.
Think about it.
