As it was in the day of Noah.

--- End quote ---
I would rather say: "that the events that seem accidental/coincidental are easier and clearer proof for us that everything is ordered by Him"
My life is way too full of those "accidental/coincidental events" (either good ones or bad ones), sometimes it feels surreal...

Just to add to my own thoughts:
Kat mentioned daniel 12:4 previously and I wanted to add Amos 8 because it uses that similar language of "run to and fro" but it gives a lot more insight.
Amos 8:9-11 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
Here is that daniel 12:4 verse:
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
During this period of "knowledge shall increase" which corresponds to the time of "the end" there will be a "famine of hearing the Words of the Lord." If the sun is the light of God and the moon reflects that light (the church) but we know the sun will be darkened and the moon turned to blood red, does this not correspond with that "famine of hearing the Word of the Lord?" Is this not what we see today? Knowledge has increased greatly but this earth and its people are experiencing a very serious "famine of hearing the Words of the Lord," ins't it?
God bless,

Found this too as a reference for the righteous to a leaf;
Proverbs 11:28
(ASV) He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
(CLV) He who trusts in his riches, he himself shall fall, Yet the righteous shall bud like a leaf."
(ESV) Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
(GNB) Those who depend on their wealth will fall like the leaves of autumn, but the righteous will prosper like the leaves of summer.
(GW) Whoever trusts his riches will fall, but righteous people will flourish like a green leaf.
(ISV) The person who trusts in his wealth will fall, but the righteous will flourish like green leaves.
(KJV) He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
KJV uses the word branch but most translations use a leaf. It appears to be more accurate!
God bless,
Alex
