We can either see the hand of God ministering to us or we can say the things happen a random occurances of fate or chance. I choose to think God's hand is working but can understand the other side. For me, it is a matter of faith.

While driving around corners in my car, the water bottle went from side to side on the dashboard, and then fell in the seat beside me, instead of on the floor as usual. I noticed and thanked Him because with my disability that would have been hard for me to get to. I drove into Fry Electronics and into a rare, shaded, parking spot which was very neat because it was hot. I thanked Him because I needed to lay in the backseat and rest my sore back. A few minutes later, I forgot to look for God in the small things when I was in the Christian bookstore. I was looking for a reward pin for a discipleship course I am teaching. I bought a $.99 pin that looked real nice, but did not buy anymore because I wanted my associate to look at it first to see if it was a good value. After I had driven the 20 miles home, I noticed that it was originally $4, and I had paid $.39 for only one. After kicking myself for not buying more, I asked God what I should learn from this. What came to me was that I need to realize that God is always watching out for me. Look for Him in every situation, even the bad ones because there is always evidence of His favor and blessing. Do not look on the dark side but on the bright side, and I will see Him in the simple things just like today. I got a lot more worth of advice from God than the $20 that I would have saved by buying more pins for my class.<br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
