The falling of a tile upon one’s head, the breaking out of a fire, is casual to us, but it is ordered by a providence of God. You have a clear instance of this in I Kings 22:24. ‘A certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness.’ This accident was casual as to the man that drew the bow; but it was divinely ordered by the providence of God. God’s providence directed the arrow to hit the mark. Things that seem to fall out casual, and by chance, are the issues of God’s decrees, and the interpretation of his will. Thomas Watson (1620-1686)
