The biblical idea of destiny and its actual outworking are
two different things. To what degree we experience Godâs intentions
for us is based on our submission to Him. I agree
with the Greek philosopher Heraklitos, who wrote âEthos Anthropos
Daimonâ, or, in English, âA manâs character is his fate.â
Another ancient proverb states, âA manâs own folly ruins his
life, yet his heart rages against the Lord.â We canât blame God,
or fate, when our own choices bankrupt our lives.
