Proverbs 16:33 No Such thing as Chance

³³ The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.

Its amazing how many people believe in chance. Even I catch myself saying things like "good luck". R.C. Sproul explains an exchange he had once where he asks his debate opponent if chance is a thing. His opponent says of course not, its not a thing. Not a thing said faster is nothing. So why do we put so much faith in a concept that is nothing? This verse really silences the argument, and shows that God is totally sovereign, even over things that seem like random chance. Imagine His limitless power to adjust the air-currents, the resistance of the edges of the dice, even the density of the air to cause a seemingly random thing like a dice roll to happen exactly according to His plan.

This verse and its implications bring me great comfort that my life and everything involved in it (good or bad), is ordained in advance from the Lord who is powerful enough to control everything, even 'chance'.
