God, coincidence and pop quizzes

Read the bible, pray and ask for guidance.  Along the way:
Sometimes the meaning of a familiar biblical passage suddenly becomes clear.  Sometimes one stumbles upon the implications of an oft heard concept.

Oh.  So that is what God wants.  Ah, that is a better way of dealing with a situation.  There’s comfort, relief and resolution.  God wants us to learn.

Yes, “this is working” one says to himself while trying to practice what is preached.  “Easier and better, too,” one may add when applying principle and spirit as initial situations arise.

Yet; similar situations and circumstances continue to show up.  Some disguised, some seemingly more difficult to deal with.  Coincidence, one could logically point out.  Maybe so.  More likely – God gives pop quizzes.
