what're the odds?

I'm not a big fan of seeking answers to difficult questions by flipping open the Bible, stabbing a finger on a random verse and hoping for inspired wisdom or revelations from God. Just doesn't work that way. Though sometimes the book seems to open at just the right place, at just the right time ...

"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love."
-Romans 5:3-5 (NLT)
