“The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD” (Proverbs 16:33)

If, every time someone rolls a pair of dice, God can determine the outcome, what does that say about the saint’s life? Jesus told His disciples, “the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore” (Matthew 10:31).

If you’re saved, this understanding should enable you to walk without the fear of man while serving Christ. Christians are God’s salt and light, and Christ warned, “whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in Heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in Heaven” (Matthew 10:32-33).

“Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ … your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:31-33). But if you question God’s provision, you probably won’t be able to see the opportunities He provides.

Here’s the secret of success for the Christian: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways” (James 1:5-8).

Don’t be double-minded by questioning the leading of God. Walk with Christ through trials, asking for wisdom and expecting the ability to make little improvements without taking questionable shortcuts. Use the grace God’s already given you to prosper in small ways, and He’ll increase your ability to see His opportunities when they appear.
