Nothing whatever

 Nothing whatever, whether

great or small, can happen to a

believer without God's ordering

and permission. There is no such

thing as "chance," "luck" or

"accident" in the Christian's

journey through this world. All

is arranged and appointed by

God, and all things are "working

together" for the believer's 

good.

~J.C. Ryle

(Side note: For some reason, I have a hard time wrapping my head around this. It's both comforting to know that nothing happens without God's involvement but also terrifying at the same time)
