Do you see God?

   Imagine you are at your job, or at school. You suddenly feel really thirsty but you don't have a water bottle, a cup, or time to go get some water. You ask God to give you some water. It seems like an odd thing to do because God probably won't give you the water. You continue working when a co-worker comes up. She says: "I was out to lunch and needed a water. The store was having a buy one get one free sale. I don't need the other water, would you like it?" You nod your head and thank her. It was a good thing she came along because God sure wasn't doing anything to help you.
   Your work day is over and you decide to go shopping. While you are at the store a woman walks by and her wristlet falls out of her purse. She does not notice. You walk over and pick the wristlet up. Then you go to the woman and give it back to her. She says "thank you so much! I didn't realize that I dropped it." She takes out a twenty dollar bill and hands it to you, "thank you for giving me that back. Here is something for you." You take the twenty and you are amazed. You think that was a great coincidence.
   These are situations that you may not face every day but you may face these situations at some point. You may have a need and suddenly the need is filled. You may not be asking for anything yet something is given to you. You may think that those things are coincidences but they are not.
   I have said before that God works through coincidences. Thus, there is no such thing as coincidence. God is at work in everything and everyone. If we have a need he may fill it in an unexpected way. But when our need is filled who do we thank? Do we thank whoever may have filled the need on earth? We should thank God when our needs are filled, no matter how they are filled. God is at work in the little things. If we cannot see him in the little things how will we see him in the big things?

   Think about whether or not you believe God is at work in your life. Does God work in the little things to supply your needs? Do you show enough gratitude?
