From this article:
"Your parents might
have decided to move into the neighborhood you grew up in as a kid, but Paul
told the Athenians you got there because God appointed it as the time and
dwelling place for you to live and reach out to find him as the source of your
life. This is not a denial of human responsibility or the contingency of
history, but a reminder that in biblical thought, contingency and freedom are
ultimately realities that are upheld, sustained, and governed by God’s fatherly
hand. The point is that God was no more caught off-guard by Ishmael’s
birth than by Isaac's."
