"Now therefore, make a new cart, take two milk cows which have never been yoked, and hitch the cows to the cart; and take their calves home, away from them. Then take the ark of the Lord and set it on the cart; and put the articles of gold which you are returning to Him as a trespass offering in a chest by its side. Then send it away, and let it go. And watch: if it goes up the road to its own territory, to Beth Shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we shall know that it is not His hand that struck us—it happened to us by chance," 1 Samuel 6:7-9, NKJV. #NoCoincidence
Sometimes, when God performs a manifestation of the miraculous in the scriptures, it almost seems as if it is a coincidence, or there might be a natural explanation to what has supernaturally transpired; in order to put away all doubt when it is too close to call, a "fleece" or confirmation that it is truly the Lord is often asked for, or an angel is sent to clarify.
