Life imitates?
It’s often quoted that life imitates fiction, but I can’t find any source for that quote. I think is must be a misappropriation of Oscar Wilde’s statement from The Decay of Living: “All that I desire to point out is the general principle that Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.”
Whichever may be the case, I never crease to be amazed at how Scripture from my ESV feed relates to what is happening in my life. Today, for example, the feed is from Romans 12.13:
And then I got a phone call from the prayer team, asking for my help in doing just that. We will see how it works out. To quote again from Romans: And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8.28)
For those not familiar with the term: saints in this context means fellow believers in Christ. It has nothing to do with the practice of conferring sainthood on individuals.
