[insert your life here]

We are told that God (not fate, mankind or chance) ultimately controls
all of human history (though people do make choices, such as choosing
to sin) and makes everything beautiful when He sees fit, and not a day
earlier. Amazingly, every detail of human history from words spoken to
food eaten and bullets fired will be ultimately woven into a beautiful
tapestry by Him. Meanwhile, for those of us under the tapestry (what
Solomon calls under the sun) who do not understand what God is doing
from beginning to end, our lives and human history seem a chaotic
anarchy of ugly sin and death.

As with every tapestry, from underneath the loom, what seems to be
mere snarls and knots appears from above asa gloriously hand-crafted
object of beauty and symmetry.
