Where in the last week did you see God at work? This is an interesting and thought provoking question.
Was it in your life or that of another? Maybe an unexpected contact with someone gave you a much needed boost. What if this wasn’t a chance encounter, but one orchestrated by God? I have received several blessings like this in recent days.
I have also seen God at work in the beauty of His creation. The greatest artist of all time has painted the trees with spectacular colours. Judging by the number of other leaf chasers with cameras busy capturing the images, many appreciate His handiwork. I wonder how many stopped to thank God for this colourful display.
A more personal example of God at work in my life happened yesterday. Our van started acting up and the check engine light came on. This is not welcome at any time but much worse in an unfamiliar area on the Sunday of a long weekend.
We prayed about what we should do and the Lord led us to a location just off the highway where a mechanic was on duty. Soon we had the diagnosis of a faulty sensor and were able to be on the road again with peace of mind. Our immediate reaction was to thank God for taking care of us.
There are many more stories I could tell you about God at work in my life. When I look back, I see His fingerprints everywhere. They will be in your life, too. Often they are spoken of as good luck or happy coincidences. They are much more than that.
I ask you to reflect on the past week and give thanks for what God has done in your life. I’d love to hear some of your stories.
“Now, our God, we give you thanks and praise your glorious name.” 1 Chronicles 29:13 NIV
Love love this post. That is one of the themes of my book. Am getting your book in the mail this week 🙂
Travel safely home. Looks like you found the amazing colors. So happy for you and this glorious trip.
We have so much to be thankful for. I see God’s fingerprints everywhere.
