DIVINE COINCIDENCES

“….. and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”  Esther 4:14 KJV 

Have you ever tried assembling a jigsaw puzzle without seeing the final image? Each piece feels confusing on its own, oddly shaped, sometimes frustrating until, slowly, the picture begins to take form. That is often what life feels like. Every unique experience can appear random or out of place until God’s perfect timing reveals the full picture and helps us connect the dots. What once felt meaningless begins to make sense under His divine design.

Take Esther, for example. A Jewish orphan girl becomes queen in a foreign land. A plot arises to wipe out her people. Her cousin Mordecai urges her to speak up at the risk of her life. Yet none of this is accidental. These seemingly disconnected events point clearly to God’s supernatural providence at work behind the scenes. What felt like coincidence was God’s intentional placement. He orchestrates moments with precision—positioning people in jobs, relationships, locations, and conversations according to His divine plan. 

Esther could have dismissed her placement as luck and kept silent. But she chose purpose over passivity. She stepped into the moment. And her obedience changed the fate of the Jews. Sometimes what seems like  a missed opportunity, or a delayed dream may be God’s way of creating a new path. That unexpected conversation. The quiet nudge. A cancelled plan that leads to a new door in ministry or business. Oftentimes,  these aren’t accidents but divine intersections. 

God rarely shouts; instead, He nudges us through the quiet leading of His Spirit; an inner witness that guides us if we’re willing to listen. The same question Mordecai asked Esther is the one we must ask ourselves: “What if I am right here, right now… for such a time as this?”   

Dear believer, do not despise or rush your current season; God does not waste anything. What others may dismiss as coincidence, God uses as construction material for His greater plan. The Apostle Paul captures this divine orchestration beautifully in Romans: 

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28 ( KJV). 

Listen, “all things” include unexpected delays, sudden opportunities, and even painful moments. When we walk with God, we don’t live by luck, we live by leading.
