I think that, as Christians, it's very important for us to recognize God's Hand in things.  Sometimes we forget how every involved God is in our lives, and it isn't until something devastating happens, that we decide to look for Him.

It's also important as a testimony to those who don't believe in God, or aren't sure about which side of the fence they are on.

So first, let me share a story from several years ago.

When I was working on my undergraduate degree, I had an office on campus which was shared with other students.  Janitors came to clean the office daily, and I was usually studying my butt off during the time the janitors would step in.  My janitor was this little old lady and I enjoyed watching her come by and listening to her hum her songs.  However, one day she stopped coming by, and a young 19 year old seemed to have taken her place.  I stopped him once to inquire the whereabouts of the older woman, and he told me he was unsure.  He said that she was still supposed to be taking care of my office, but he had been noticing that my room wasn't done.....and so he had been taking care of my office himself.

I was impressed and as the weeks crept onward, we would swap a word or two.  I often tutored in my office on a little blackboard, and he asked me not to erase the work.  Curious, I asked him why he wanted me to keep it up, and he told me a very touching story.  He told me that he could not understand a lick of math, but that he loved cleaning the math department rooms because he could see what was on the boards before he washed them. He described to me the hours he spent each day, pouring over what was left by the professors, trying to make some sense of it.

You see, he wanted a better job, which required him to take a test that contained math.  He had four small daughters and didn't want to bum off his parents to take care of them (the young mother had left them all).  I was touched, and I told him that if he ever had spare time, I would start teaching him basic math.

And so we began.  Every day he had 30 minutes to spare, he'd come to my office.  I started off with lessons on adding, operating with negative numbers, order of operations, and eventually we even worked our way to solving one step equations.  I would give him 'homework'.  Unlike most kids, he WANTED to learn, so his completion of these assignments was not motivated by the need for a 'good grade'. He simply did the work because he WANTED to improve his life.

Every day, he would rush into my office to see what problems he was getting right or wrong.

After a few months of this, the kid had to take a day off and an older male janitor filled in for him.  He asked me something (I don't quite recall what it was), and through that question, he found out who I was.  "Oh!' he exclaimed.  'You're the lady that always gives Robbie that homework!"  He beamed and told me how hard Robbie always worked on those things, and how Robbie ranted and raved about how much he was learning.  He said Robbie was so proud of that, and then went on to state that he himself could never be successful at math. I assured him that this was not true, and he revealed to me that he could not read.

You see, he was a MUCH older black gentleman who grew up taking classes in which segregation was still a huge issue.  As we walked towards the elevator and separated ways, he joked and stated how he wished I would teach him to read.  I told him I would have no problem with that, and he didn't realize I was being serious.

I was intrigued  I had never taught anything aside from numbers, and I went to the library and checked out all these books on how to teach someone to read.  Then I hunted him down, offered to teach him, and he gleefully accepted.  We began with three letter words like 'cat', 'dog', and 'pen'.

He struggled.  He too though, was motivated by a desire to move into a better life for his family.  Then one day, he pulled out a little pocket bible and he opened it up.....and read to me.  I was stunned.  This elderly gentleman who could not read three letter words with ease was reading to me....from the Holy scripture.  I couldn't help but ask...."How can you read that?"  He didn't read it perfectly of course, but his level of reading from the scripture certainly surpassed what we were working on.

You know what he told me? That old man had carried around that little ragged pocket bible for about a decade so that he could witness to young black men.  Take a moment and let that sink in.  
He carried around a pocket bible to read to young men.....yet he could not read.  Talk about faith!  Talk about miracles!  Talk about devotion!

Never ever will I forget how I felt upon his revelation.

That man did go on to get a better job, I'm proud to say.

The part I didn't tell you about the story is this:  I was not a saved Christian at that point in my life.  I believed I was, but that belief was held on the very thin reasons I had been infused with from birth.

Meeting this man..hearing his testimony, it is one of the things that led me into a relationship with Christ.  Imagine it:  God had some lady take a few weeks off so that I could meet a young man who needed help learning math....(a talent I specifically held)....so that I could meet a man who could not read.....so that I could see first-hand His awe and grace.

God used a man that could not read to show me How powerful He is, and I could never thank Him enough.  At the time, ,the old man's ruse meant nothing more to me than a touching story.  I did not understand the seed that had been planted, and which still grows within me today.

What small seed has God planted for you, or for someone else today?  Please share!

God has touched me today. I don't know why or for what reason.. only that He has.

Lord, thank You for this day, for the people You've put in my life, for the beautiful things You've allowed me to witness, the things You've helped me overcome, the emotional scars you have healed, the nutrition You have provided, the job You have secured, the health You have restored, the hearts You have touched, the spirits You have saved, the Grace You have shown!

Thank You God for being my everlasting support and my pillar of strength!  Thank You Lord for being so strong when I am so weak.  Thank You for helping me walk through the darkness.

Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.

Lord, You are astonishing. You are beyond our comprehension.  You are wonderful.  You chose ME. Me, Lord, of all people.  You chose me.

*weeps*

Thank You God...

I love You.. I love You so much.... Lord, You are my blessing, my light, my salvation.

You saved me from the pit of hell.  You could have let me burn, but You chose to save me. You chose to reach out and take my hand.

Lord, I am capable of all.  I am capable of all because You are by my side.  Thank You Lord, Thank You Lord.

I love You so much.

Hallelujah.

EDIT:  Even as I sit here weeping in the joy You give me, You still work in my life!  Thank You Lord!  Thank You for taking care of even those small little worries in my life that I can not control myself!  Lord, You are amazing!  You are my Joy!  You are my Lord, and I am happy and blessed and not worthy of Your care!

Lord, You know just what is in my heart and mind!  You know how to address them, fix them, cradle them, and heal them!  Lord, You are amazing...Amazing in every way.  Your praise should spring forth from my heart and lips, because I am touched .. graced.. blessed by Your presence!

Thank You Lord, for giving me another reason to weep in awe and joy!

Singelli : the thing God does for me everyday no matter what I do is keep me breathing. He is always with me and keeping me breathing.

I can think of two things off the top of my head.

1) Where I am right now. God led me to come to the Word of Life Bible Institute. My original reasons for coming were probably not the best, but God has been working and has given me one of the bests months in my life.

2) God has been working on my character. He has been strengthening my faith and pushing me to do things I would have never done on my own.

I can't wait to see what God has in store for my future.

God has done plenty for me, not necessarily today, but for pretty much my entire life. I've had a few situations in my life in which I thought i had no one to turn to and God was always there to help me through it. I mean if he wasn't I probably wouldn't be here today. The most recent God has helped me would probably be with regard to my surgery. I've almost fallen on my foot, which at the time I couldn't apply pressure, and every time with the exception of once in Canada, I've managed not to fall. I feel like I have no one but God to thank for that, because if I had fallen those many other times, I probably would've broken the bones in my foot. In regards to school, there have been days where I haven't completed my homework and the teacher wasn't there that day. I usually thank God for those, as well as for good grades.

God woke me up today without drowsiness clouding my thoughts.
I've been in a rough patch and I still feel like I am there, but I've got to try and find ways God is working in my life.

He worked mine and my husband's schedules yesterday so that we could attend church for the first time since my husband got his job.  That was a blessing itself.

God has kept me clean for one more day. He has also gave me a open heart and mind toward other people. I used to have no compassion and used to be a completely different person but through the grace of God I'm a better person in every way. I have been so low in points in my life and have played around with death a couple times but I know God has looked out for me. I am living proof that Jesus died for us on the Cross and that God truly does love you no matter how far away you have slipped from Him he is always loving toward you no matter what. .

Well this isn't something that He did for me today, but I wanted to share this story because it is important to me:

 I'm a writer, specifically a history writer since God has given me such a great love for history, both reading about it and writing about it. Well back earlier in the year (March) I sent in a proposal for an article to a certain magazine but the editor in charge never replied to me. God led another editor there to encourage me to keep on sending my proposal though, which I did every month on the 15th from April to September. That month the editor responded to me. My proposal was rejected, but he was very impressed by my persistence and more then that he was familiar with my writing and wanted me to send in another proposal for consideration.

 I was so thankful to God in that moment because without Him I never would have had the strength to keep on going. Every time I felt discouraged during those months of waiting God was right there, I could feel Him there, telling me to push on and that my persistence would pay off. Sometimes it would be a whisper in the back of my mind, sometimes it would be a Bible verse I was studying, sometimes it would just come up in discussion with my parents, but afterwards I always felt re-energized. And He was right, of course, I persevered and God rewarded me in a way I never would have guessed and allowed me to get my foot in the door. I sent in another proposal in early October and tomorrow I will send it again, just as I was doing before.

 Also in October God opened up the door for me at another two magazines, by leading them to update their editorial plans which had not been updated in quite some time I was getting worried to be honest. I am still working on making proposals for those places, but I know that I if I follow God's lead in doing so then everything will work out. I may always not see it, especially in rejection, but God's plans are always the best.

For the past month or so, I was in a deep depression.  Usually one to be happy and care-free, I felt like I would never smile, and as though I didn't even know what the emotion felt like.  It was almost as though I could not re-call joy in my heart... ever.  Usually when I'm upset or sad or angry, I get over it in a few minutes or hours.  In face, I think the longest I was ever upset at someone (before this depression) was like three days, and it was over something pretty darn huge.  So after the first week of my depression, I felt as though something was certainly wrong.

I didn't really fight it because I didn't have the energy to.  I'd cry, mope, and sit around doing nothing.  I didn't even know how to approach anyone on the subject, nor did I care to.

God brought me out of it.  I began to read His word a little more, I began to focus on fixing the things that were wrong in my relationship with Him, and little by little, I began to feel better.  I'm now more inspired by the Lord than ever, and back to my normal self for the most part.  For those of you who have never experienced depression, what God did for me was huge.  I was ready to give up on everything, but God reached down and took my hand.  He showed me that clinging to His Word would bring me comfort, and it did.

Although it wasn't something He did for me -today-, it's something He's been working on with me for the past week, and I needed to give Him credit for it.

What Did god do for me today?
Wow what a question well first of all he led me here to post this , she made the sun rise for me ,kept me breathing ,gave me everything I need and showed me the reason to keep going.

second he answered my prayers  asked for the strength and motivation to move on with my life, kept drugs away from me and healed the headache I had last night

Third he forgave me for all the things I fell short on today and everyday and showed me the way forward

finally and possibly most importantly he kept me and my son safe warm and fed

I know GOD exists and have faith that his Son Jesus Christ died as a sacrifice that I would be saved I pray every day that I can be even 1/100000000000 th of the MAN he was

GOD is Good AMEN

RetroSteve :  Amen on your passion!  I gotta say it's always a wonderful feeling, to know that your heavenly Father is on your side, is it not?

As for me, I was really stressed last week with a few things I needed to get done before the end of the week.  Lo and behold, snow came out of nowhere and ended the week early.   This had given me more time to prepare for the things I was fearing.  Even though I still have to go through them, I can at least have a steadier head on my shoulders as I face them.

God is good, yes He is.

"I think that, as Christians, it's very important for us to recognize God's Hand in things. Sometimes we forget how every involved God is in our lives, and it isn't until something devastating happens, that we decide to look for Him.

It's also important as a testimony to those who don't believe in God, or aren't sure about which side of the fence they are on."



Mathew 6: 1-2

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Brigand :
I'm giving glory to God, not myself.  Thus, I'm not sure how your verse really applies here.  Why would God not want us to speak of His amazing gifts and blessings?  :/  Pointing out what God has done in one's life is not giving alms... it's witnessing... something we as Christians are instructed to do.  I think you might have misinterpreted those verses, or my thread.  In any case, I don't want to turn this into a debate, and maybe you can pm me about it?  Thanks so much!

God gave me a pretty good laugh and taught me something in the process!  Here's something a little light heated for everyone.  

Alright, I was eating my corn dogs and as anyone knows, I'm very lavish with mustard on my corn dogs. To me, a corn dog is just NOT a corn dog unless saturated with mustard. Well, I was getting towards the end of the corn dog and like any sensible person who doesn't want the corn dog stick stabbing the roof of their mouth, I decided I was going to push the corn dog off the stick. Apparently though, I had microwaved it just long enough to harden the batter, and that dog did not want to budge! Well, I was not expecting that resistance, and that dog flew right out of my hands!!!! Mustard EVERYWHERE! There was mustard on my mouse, on my computer screen, on my table, on the wires, on the wall, and on my bible! As I sat there cleaning it all up (it took THREE napkins!!!), I realized... this all came from ONE bit of corn dog. Lesson of the day: Use less mustard.

Not to triple post or anything but...

I'd really like to see more people posting in here.  Within the past few weeks, God has been working miracle after miracle in my life.  I have so much to be thankful for, and I've been awed as I've watched God move. He's blessed me financially, emotionally, and even physically.  I've watched prayers being answered, seen lives being saved, and grown in my knowledge of what it means to be Christian.

So what did God do for YOU today?  It could be something insignificant, or significant.  All of God's works are wondrous.

For me?  God let me have an honest conversation with a good friend.  One that caused me to think about certain decisions and become more firm in some of my ideas.  He led me to a few conclusions which I want to act upon, and He was there when I lifted my heart to thank Him.  Even the act of being there is worthy of being noted.  I am in love with the idea of a God who takes such a personal interest in our lives.

Hallelujah for that blessing.
