His Hand

Think about this for a moment. How many times in your life has God been working and you didn't even know it?

Think back and view your life from someone else's perspective. How many times did a life changing moment happen in a way that can only be explained by the hand of God? How many times were you protected from a situation in a totally supernatural way? How often have you said something or had someone say something to you that was just so perfect it could only have been prompted by the Holy Spirit?

Okay let me back up and see if I can explain this a little better.

When I was twelve, actually on my twelfth birthday my parents were taking me to the Oregon Coast to spend some time with family. On the spur of the moment they decided to take a side trip to see where my Granddad had grown up. Driving through the town we saw a store for sale and they joked about how funny it would be if we bought it, changed our whole lives, moved four teenagers (well three and an almost teenager) and all of our animals to another state, six hours away!
Flash forward four months and God had lined everything up perfectly and we began the process of moving and starting a whole new, crazy chapter in our lives.
It was hard at first but we adjusted and it ended up being a great blessing in our lives.

Here's another example. The other day I was talking to a friend and she said something that was the perfect encouragement for the moment, when I thanked her for it she said, "I have no idea where that came from".
But I did, I know that her words came straight from the Holy Spirit to encourage me at just the right moment.

So many times in both small ways and huge ways I can look back and see God's hand at work in my life and I bet if you thought about it you'd be able to see Him working in your life too.
