Nothing Coincidental

Nothing is coincidental because all are planned by God.
Today the Bible verse for Pastor Rev. Ming Hsu's sermon at Formosa Presbyterian Church, Orange County http://fpcoc.org/ is John 4:31 - 4:38
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." But He said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about." So the disciples were saying to one another, "No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?" Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work. 4:35 "Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest '? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. "Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. "For in this case the saying is true, 'One sows and another reaps.' "I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor."

John 4:35
你們不是說『收割的季節還有四個月才到』嗎?看哪,我告訴你們:舉目向田裡觀望,莊稼已經成熟,可以收割了!
35 Do not ye say, that there are yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, for they are already white to harvest.

John 4:35 is connected to Matthew 9:37 in Adrian Rogers Legacy Bible:
於是他對自己的門徒們說:「收割的工作多,而工人少。9:38 所以你們要祈求收割的主催促工人參與他的收割工作。」
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.   38“Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

 In the following story I read a moment ago, the author cited Matthew 9:35 - 9:38 twice on page 3.
