Rolling a dice is such a random act and
in the most cases the results leave one at the mercy of chance. The
Roman soldiers rolled dice to decide on how they would split Jesus
garments. It seems like such an insignificant act that it makes one
wonder why it is mentioned in scripture.
Truth is there was nothing that God
left to chance on any of the details of Jesus Crucifixion. Every
detail was meticulously planned and as if by rehearsal foretold
throughout the old testament. Psalm 22:18 reads “They divided my
clothes among themselves and throw dice for my garments.”
Prophets throughout the centuries
declared details of that fateful week and even a study of Genesis
will prove that from the dawn of mankind, the fall of Adam, the
salvation story was begun.
But, you may say, this was the most
significant event of all time so yes, it would be foretold and well
planned. Our lives seem so much more random. Yet in the same way
that God's words foretold these events in Jesus life they are as
applicable to us today.
Look at what the scriptures prophesy
about our lives:
Psalm 139:16 “Your eyes saw my
unformed body; all the days ordained for me were before one of them
came true.”
God has every detail prepared and
written for your life. When times are dark, trust in Him for He will
guide you on your ordained path if you allow Him to truly direct your
life.
