Rolling the dice

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.
