To see God working in your life you have to realize that he’s always at work in your life. He knows all things and strings together your life like a beautiful tapestry.

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
~Romans 8:28 NASB2020
God is working in your life every single day. He gives good things. He is making a path for you that leads you to him. We just need to know how to see him working.
When I was 18, I had a crazy experience that can only be explained by God working in my life. At the time of the incident I wasn’t following God the way I should have been, but looking back I can only explain it as God working in my life.
I was driving very early in the morning from my hometown to the next biggest city and I hit some black ice and I lost control. My car spun around and around. I ended up on a fluffy bed of snow next to the road. After taking some deep breaths I got out of the car and walked to the side of the road to hopefully get help. Within a minute a car drove by and I flagged them down. They stopped and drove back to me. They had one open seat and agreed to drive me to the closest town. They dropped me off at the gas station and I went inside and tried calling some tow trucks. Some guy happened to hear what I was saying and offered to try to pull my car out of the snow. I went with him in his truck and we found my car. It was brighter now and I saw that on the other side of the road was a ravine and I would not be in good shape if I had gone that direction. The gentleman was able to get my car out and I was able to drive it to the city. It had no damage, just snow in the tires.

I wouldn’t be here if I had gone the other direction, if the guys hadn’t seen me and stopped so quickly, if the gentleman hadn’t overheard my conversations, if my car had been damaged… so much could have turned out differently, but it didn’t. But God protected me and brought me out of the situation safe and even made sure my car was safe.
“For who has shown contempt for the day of small things? But these seven will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel—they are the eyes of the Lord roaming throughout the earth.”
~Zechariah 4:10 NASB2020
But it’s not just the big things, it’s the little ones as well. Sometimes a spot opens up in a parking lot at the perfect time, or someone shows you kindness when you really need it, or in a moose.
My husband and I were on our honeymoon and I was praying that I would see a moose. I’ve seen moose before all the time, but I really wanted to see one and God put one by a pond for me to see as we drove to our destination.
My husband and I went on a drive down a dirt road to a small village and on the way back we realized we didn’t have much gas, we were praying the whole way back that we would have enough gas to make it to the gas station. We were relieved and praising God when we did.
The words coincidence and lucky are often words that take away from Gods glory. If you think something is crazy to have happened the way it happened, change your mindset to give God the glory for what he has done in your life.
