Have there been times in your life where the hand of God was so present and real that you just pondered what had just happened? \u00a0Where one step, one glance, one decision, or one word at the wrong time \u00a0would have changed your life in another direction completely. \u00a0How many times have you said “I was very lucky”? \u00a0People of God ponder these acts of God and give Him praise. They do not say it was luck or chance but by the sovereign hand of God working in their life. \u00a0How do they know this is the work of God? \u00a0Because they know Him. \u00a0They know His promises. \u00a0He is their rock, refuge, hope, faith, love, joy, power and they rely on His steadfast love. \u00a0The Holy Spirit within them confirms to their spirit it was the work of God. \u00a0They absolutely know. \u00a0His hand, power, love, joy, peace, kindness, strength, might, forgiveness, hope, mercy and grace is known to them. \u00a0They find anchor to these in His word. \u00a0They cling to, rely on, and trust in Him. \u00a0To the world and those who know Him not this all seems foolish, but to those who have put their hope and trust in Him it is the purpose and meaning for life this side of eternity. \u00a0Desire and seek to know Him and to be able to hear His whispers into your life. \u00a0Humbly serve, honor, follow and obey Him. \u00a0Believe in His promises. \u00a0Trust in Him. \u00a0Cling to Him. \u00a0Rely on Him. \u00a0And you will see His hand at work in your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
