The Hand of God is invincible but powerful. He works on our behalf without us knowing sometimes. Jesus had forseen that Peter was going to deny him, He prayed and delivered him from losing his faith. The prayer of Jesus, saved Peter from losing his total salvation, even though there were traces of denial. Can you imagine what would have happened if Jesus had not prayed? The prayer of Jesus for Peter was God's invincible act to preserve the faith of Peter. Luke 22:31-32 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brothers.
God chose Saul to be the King of Israel. He told Samuel all about Saul, and set Saul up to lose his father's donkeys. God orchestrated it all for Saul and Samuel's path to cross. Eventually , according to God's plans, Saul was anointed King by Samuel - 1 Samuel 9,10:1-2. The Hand of God planted Esther in the palace to redeem the Jews. As Mordecai said to her - For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14. Esther's presence in the palace was timely - possibly another act of God's invincible Hand to save those He loves and calls His own.
Would we say it was mere co-incidence that Rebekah turned up at the well, and was the exact answer to the prayer of Abraham's servant? The invincible Hand of God provided Rebekah as a wife for Isaac. Genesis 24. The Hand of God works behind the scenes to make our lives meaningful - delivering us from harm, and providing what we need. God sets a table for us, it is up to us to identify and make a conscious effort to partake of His goodness.
Walk consciously knowing that God is with you, working all things together for your good.
