We have seen stories like this many times before. But it still holds us. We want to believe in destiny. We want to believe that there is a grand design behind our lives. Ask of the devil, use magic still you cannot turn any human being from his destiny.
Destiny is a tyrant s authority for crime and a fool s excuse for failure.
And in the field of destiny We reap as we have sown. This was a popular doctrine among the Stoics who believed that all history and human life was subject to Fate. God is a kind of World Soul or impersonal force which permeates all the universe. The ancient religions of Zoroaster and Mani posited two coeternal principles, darkness and light. Scripture presents God working in various ways to accomplish His purpose.
