Has the Lord left anything to chance? I cannot think of anything, and when it comes to what He wants from man, the Lord has plans, even as He gave plans to David for the building of the temple by Solomon,

Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat; and the plans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, of all the chambers all around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things; also for the division of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and for all the articles of service in the house of the Lord. He gave gold by weight for things of gold, for all articles used in every kind of service; also silver for all articles of silver by weight, for all articles used in every kind of service… (1 Chronicles 28.11–14). 

Just as the temple then, with all the services and sacrifices that took place there, had perfect arrangements, so the Lord has arranged our salvation today perfectly. Praise the Lord!
