Do You See God's Hand in Your Life?

"The hand of Jehovah will become known to his servants." -ISAIAH 66:14

MANY people think that there is little connection between what they are doing and what God is doing. In fact,some believe that God has little interest in what is happening to humans.  After Super Typhoon Haiyan wreaked  destruction on the central Philippians in November 2013, the mayor of one large city said:  "God must have been somewhere else.

Other people act as if God cannot see what they are doing.  (Isaiah 26:10, 11; 3 John 11) They are like those whom the apostle Paul described when he said: "They did not see fit to acknowledge God." Such people "were filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and badness." -Romans 1:28, 29. 

What about us?  Unlike those mentioned above, we realize that Jehovah observes everything we do. But do we also perceive his interest and supporting hand in our life?  Moreover, are we among those whom Jesus referred to as ones who "will see God"? (Matthew 5:8) To learn what that means, let  first take a look at Bible examples of those who saw God's hand in action and of those who refused to do so.  Then we will learn how we can clearly see Jehovah's hand in our life through our eyes of faith. As we consider these points, keep in mind that the Bible often speaks of God's "hand" when referring to his applied power, which he uses to help his servants and to defeat his opposers. -Read Deuteronomy 26:8.
