Where a person will go, what they will do, who or what they will encounter, what they will say, and what will happen to them during each day—can people predict any of these things? People not only cannot foresee all these occurrences, but even more so, they cannot control how these things develop. In people's daily lives, these unforeseeable events happen all the time, they are common occurrences. The occurrence of these "trivial affairs of daily life" and the means and patterns of their development, are constant reminders to mankind that nothing happens at random, and that the process of each event's development and the inevitableness of each event cannot be shifted by human will.

The occurrence of every event conveys an admonition from the Creator to mankind, and it also sends the message that human beings cannot control their own fates. At the same time, it's also a rebuttal to mankind's ambition and desire of futilely hoping to take its fate into its own hands. This rebuttal is like a powerful slap to the face that hits mankind over and over, forcing people to reflect on who exactly holds sovereignty over and controls their fate. And as their ambitions and desires are constantly dashed and shattered, people also cannot help but unconsciously conform to the arrangements of fate, and accept reality, the will of Heaven, and the Creator's sovereignty.

From the repeated occurrence of the "trivial affairs of daily life" to the fates of the whole lives of all humans, there is nothing that does not reveal the Creator's sovereignty and arrangements; there is nothing that does not send the message that "the Creator's authority cannot be surpassed," that does not convey the immutable truth that "the Creator's authority is supreme."
