"Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered." (Matthew 10:29-30)
God created this world in six days. This is just absolutely amazing; however, the amazingness doesn't stop there. God also is in control over the world today. In all the events that happen, from the global wars and disasters to the small habits in your own life, they are all decreed by God in His plan which He made before the foundation of this world. Things do not just happen by chance; there is not such thing as coincidence. "The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord." (Proverbs 16:33) God has decreed everything; that is why it comes to pass. If we could see the book of His plan for this world, all the things that happened to you and I did today would be written there, including your sleep in and when you were snappy at your brothers and sisters. Everything is in His plan.
And this includes both the good and the bad things that happen. Its easy to think that all the good things that happen to us are God's will, however, the not so good things are also in His hand. And if you think about it, usually its those not so good things that actually work out for our good in the long run. God uses all things, both the good and the bad for the benefit of those who love Him. That's such a great comfort.
I also think that once you begin to realise more and more that God has planned everything in your life, then you actually begin to see it in this way. You can then see how He works things, which may seem insignificant when they happened, for your spiritual wellbeing. Once you begin to see life in this way, it is also so much more enjoyable as you can live in the comfort and assurance that God has planned your steps even before you take them.
