Divine Providence has a well established reputation for surprising us when we least expect, there being an awareness that nothing happens by chance, but by a well thought out intervention that appears at first glance to reveal a hidden agenda which in due time will make sense to those for whom the plan has been designed.
Wisdom has its way of reminding the enthusiastic apprentice that the wise are forever learning that perfectly timed coincidences are never the result of chance...despite which there are those who will say that they did it all by themselves, the result of that Eureka moment...when inspired, out of the blue...so to speak.
Patience, and endurance are blood brothers fed by hope encouraging the student of life's adversities to reap the rewards that accrue to all who remain faithful when the sky darkens.
But in the end it's only a passing thing, this shadow; even darkness must pass. ~J.R.R. Tolkien
