Gods hidden hand Read: Psalm 139:13–18 Bible in a Year: Daniel 5–7; 2 John All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:16 My friend was adopted by a missionary couple from the United States and grew up in Ghana. After his family moved back to the US, he began college but had to drop out. Later, he signed on with the military, which eventually helped him for college and took him all over the world. Through it all, God was at work, preparing him for a special role. Today, he writes and edits Christian literature that ministers to an international audience. His wife also has an interesting story. She failed her chemistry exams during her first year of college due to the strong medication she had to take for epilepsy. After some careful deliberation, she switched from studying science to studying American Sign Language, which had a more manageable workload. Reflecting on that experience, she says, “God was redirecting my life for a greater purpose.” Today, she is making His life-changing Word accessible to the hearing-impaired. Do you sometimes wonder where God is leading you? Psalm 139:16 acknowledges God’s sovereign hand in our lives: “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” We don’t know how God will use the circumstances of our life, but we can rest in the knowledge that God knows everything about us and is directing our footsteps. Though His sovereign hand may seem hidden, He’s never absent. Dear Lord, help me to trust You even when I don’t understand. What steps can you take to discern God’s leading or to act on His call for your life?

One of the sweetest things about God's direction, is that He may ordain your life to go down a certain path, but if you fail to do so, He will still guide and lead you and never leave you. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
