Daily Devotion

“In the Christian lexicon, there is no word for 'chance'. Those seemingly random coincidences are often moments when God is working secretly for His children, concealing His identity.”

Billy Graham · Angels: God's Secret Agent

Scripture

Matthew 10:29-30 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Not one of them will fall to the ground unless your Father wills it, and even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Reflection

We tend to divide life into "sacred" and "secular," believing that prayer should be reserved for serious illness or hardship, while the success of repairing an appliance depends on luck. But the Gospel of Matthew reminds us that God's grace is extremely "refined." The constant malfunctioning and restarting of the blender, seemingly a mechanical accident, is actually God's way of accompanying us in subtle ways. He doesn't care about the value of the items, but rather our peace in the mundane. This unexpected turnaround after seemingly desperate measures is God dismantling our self-righteousness, allowing us to rediscover His invisible yet ever-present hand when we are at our wits' end.
