The Hand of God

Being a Detective for the Divine....God's hand is actively working in the lives of His children and the world. We are too busy, however, to notice it much of the time. Throughout the series of events over the past 3 years...from my parents both being diagnosed with cancer to the church split...God's hand has been there. Not always apparent at the time but looking back there are many AHA moments. Times are too numerous to count when I would be discouraged or depressed or doubting or fearful that I would drive by a church sign that spoke directly to my anxious heart. "Be still"..."Be anxious for nothing"...over and over again. Or what I read would be along the same lines of what I needed to hear at the time. Or an email or card from a friend that would remind me of God's presence even in the hard times. Or a song or sermon that addressed my need. God loves us too much to leave us where we are. He shapes us to be more like Him. "When you grow more and more in love with Jesus and you spend time with Him, you become more like Him."
