{":Time And Chance:"}

SWIFT, STRONG, WISE, BRILLIANT, LEARNED -

WE LOOK AT THE LIST AND ENVISION INSTANT SUCCESS

FOR THE LUCKY PERSON POSSESSING THESE QUALITIES.

FURTHERMORE,

WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR OWN LIVES

AND DO NOT SEE THOSE ABILITIES,

WE ASSUME WE ARE DOOMED TO MEDIOCRITY.

"TIME AND CHANCE" AFFECT EVERYTHING.

WE CAN DESPAIR AT THAT

AND THINK IT DOESN'T MATTER

WHAT WE DO BECAUSE WE CANNOT CONTROL LIFE,

OR WE CAN SEE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY.

ABILITIES ARE NOT ALL THERE IS TO SUCCESS.

GOD IS ORCHESTRATING THE EVENTS OF LIFE,

THE VERY THINGS THAT LOOK TO US LIKE TIME AND CHANCE.

IN HIS PLAN HE WILL USE US AS HE WILLS AND AS WE ARE WILLING.
