YEP!
"The sovereignty of God is a difficult concept to keep in balance. Christianity is not a fatalistic faith, as though everything in life is rigidly predetermined. But many of the seemingly random events we experience are actually events that the Lord is using to orchestrate his purposes and plans.
See 1 Samuel 9:1 - 10:8. This story from Saul's life is an example of that. He went looking for lost donkeys and ended up discovering that he would be king of Israel. He had one agenda, but God clearly had another. And God accomplished his purpose without Saul being aware of it ahead of time.
The lesson for us is that we may not know what the Lord is preparing for us, but we can live with a sense of expectation and assurance that he is always orchestrating circumstances according to his plan."
—Reflection from the NIV Once-A-Day Bible
If ever one man didn't have any kind of a clue what God has in store for him, it would be me. I think though, that it's a blessing just to be reminded that while I have absolutely NO clue, that it makes perfect sense to God.
