In relation to predestination, I have a friend who is always telling me how God puts her in certain places to help others. This is usually related to the highway. The last mention was how God put her behind someone who lost their load of furniture from a truck. The person just had surgery and thus God had placed her there at that time to help.
This same story line is often repeated with other episodes. Sometimes God delays her by not letting her car crank to avoid accidents, etc.
I just wonder how much of this is God's predestination, vs His intervention, or just happenstance? How can God intervene based on the fact that he has already seen?
Also why didn't God just stop the furniture from falling off the truck? Unless it was some sort of a test to see if my friend would fail but that seems to be more what Satan does than God.
