Do you believe in fate?
Hello friends of stemit and steemchurch, I am going to do a daily analysis, which brings many diversities and controversies in human belief and is related to our god. Is it about, whether or not there is destiny? If everything happens by chance? or if everything is written? or everything that happens to us depends on our own decisions and our will?
Destiny is a force that is above us and that pushes us towards an inevitable succession of events, of circumstances from which we can not escape.
We often feel that strange sensation where chance, the unexpected, is putting marks in our path, forcing us to channel life in one direction or another. Some people say that what guides our life is destiny.
Chance or causality?
It is true that sometimes things happen that surprise us: meet someone in a certain place in curious circumstances, that luck that one day appears unexpectedly, that choice we take without knowing very well why ... Is it chance? Or is it perhaps due to a mysterious causality?
“Lo que el cielo tiene ordenado que suceda, no hay diligencia ni sabiduría humana que lo pueda prevenir.”
-Miguel de Cervantes-
This theme remains encompassed within the framework of divine mysteries, of which science has not yet been able to decipher, but there are enough facts that astonish and that really affirm us that there is a divine power that guides our paths, and also that it alerts us between good and bad and that alert can give us the option to change important aspects in our lives.
There are scientists who affirm the existence of an "almost obligatory destiny", and it is the one related to inheritance: the genetics of our parents sometimes determines us in many aspects, sometimes in character and sometimes in physical traits, in diseases ... The context social and personal in which we are educated can also affect us at least with a probability of 30 or 40%.
But on the other hand, we also have the indispensable conception of "free will", where each one is conditioned by his own choices. It is because of his own personal history and also because of his life in a society that allows him to lean towards a certain path or another, recognizing his mistakes, trusting in himself and assuming new challenges.
We are free to set our own goals and achieve our own achievements, but chance exists. And sometimes the coincidences are so unique that we can not avoid endowing them with that halo of inexplicable magic. Because people, however rational we may be, have always liked that singular brushwork where to contain all the strange and inexplicable ...
If something happens to us, be it good or bad, it is not destiny. Everything is the will of God, although most say that it is chance, such chance does not exist ... there may be many who tell us. "Chance, Destiny"
The will of God is that we have life, the will of God is that we get closer to him every day and we can live a quiet life by his side, we just have to strive and be brave, and wait on God who created us to his image and likeness.
Let us thank God for everything that happens to us and accept that everything we have at our disposal are wonderful gifts from God to us, we just need to know how to manage them, because they are God's blessings so you can believe that nothing is possible if He does not is by your side.
The blessing of God we have every day, air, life, food, nothing chance, everything is the work of God that works for good to us, just thank God for all that he gives us and for what we do not gives.
From the bible
La bendición es Dios es aquella que enriquece y no añade tristeza con ella. Proverbios 10:22
A theme written in the Bible affirms us that this destiny that guides us is based on the so-called "God's time is perfect"
Ecclesiastes 3 Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)
Everything has its time
-Everything has its time, and everything that is wanted under heaven has its time.
Time to be born, and time to die; planting time, and time to start the planting;
time to kill, and time to heal; a time to destroy, and a time to build;
time to mourn, and time to laugh; time to lament, and time to dance;
-time to scatter stones, and time to gather stones; time to embrace, and time to refrain from embracing;
time to search, and time to lose; time to keep, and time to throw away;
time to break, and time to sew; time to keep silent, and time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate; time of war, and time of peace.
"Fate is the one that shuffles the cards, but we are the ones who play."
-William Shakespeare-
Thank you for the post, it got certain thoughts going.
I for one believe that we have an all knowing God, that allows us to make choices, as this si the only way we can become who WE want to become. However because He knows all, He knows what choices we will make and still lets us choose. Like a wise father will let your children make Father in heaven does too.
