How much influence does God have on a life? How many things actually happen for a reason?
When something bad happens, I usually proclaim it to be nothing more than the random chance of the world; however, when something good happens, I see it as a blessing and a sign of God's work. Should it be the other way around?
I recently got rejected for a part in a play. After the initial disappointment, I started to think about other opportunities for me in the theatre. I made the decision to ask the directors of our local theatre if I could help. I don't usually go looking for opportunities. Could God possibly have had a hand in my rejection, so I could learn this lesson? What if the directors of the theatre don't need me? Is the lesson invalid, or was that also a part of God's plan?
Is it arrogant of me to think that God would take such a personal interest in my life? Sometimes, I think so. I'm nobody important, and how dare I presume that I am someone to whom God would pay close attention.
Does he really have a plan for every individual? Is everyone truly that important?
The answer to these queries: I don't know.
