A quote from Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist” suggests the universe conspires for those who want something. The Bible’s version, from 2 Chronicles 16:9, implies God supports those whose hearts are completely His.
I am going to tell you a quote that will blow your mind. This is message 554 and day 21 in the New Year Resolution Challenge and this message is dedicated to my brother Caleb on his birthday. Happy birthday Caleb!
There is a conspiracy going on. Forces are at work. The focus of these forces is you. These forces are conspiring for your success. Paulo Coelho wrote a wonderful story called The Alchemist about finding one's destiny. The plot is an old story, but Coelho's version became a bestseller, on advice given to the main character, Santiago, that "when you really want something to happen, the whole universe will conspire to help you achieve it" is the core of the novel's thinking.
The Bible's version of this is in 2 Chronicles 16:9 when Hanani the seer tells the king, "The eyes of the Lord move back and forth throughout the earth that he may strongly support those whose heart is completely his." What if this were true? What if God is looking for people to get behind? What would you need to do to catch his eye today?
