Ever see a sitcom where a prediction is made and then the protagonist doesn't believe it is going to happen, and sure enough before 30 minutes is over it happens. Taxi had an episode like this and without thinking about it too much maybe you can think of some more.
God has some things going on. The question is are we supposed to, like, make them happen or do we make sure to stay out of it so they will happen.
If you are a paid staff member of a church or organization that expects things to happen, it sure is easy to make what is supposed to happen (good numbers, right expenditure, proper amount of applause, good comments on the blog, etc.) happen.
Without any regard with what God will have happen... happen.
The pressure is incredible.
Adam Smith wrote or spoke about an invisible hand of self interest basically making the world go 'round.
My understanding of it has to do with something along the lines of God working for all things to work for good.
Are you willing to get out of the way of it?
How good good becomes may be a function of your willingness to be irrelevant.
Or we can spend more time being sufficiently mediocre.
Either way.
