A God Thing?

I've had many interactions with people lately in responding to decision making an answered prayer as "a God thing."

I look, for example, at the insane turmoil that this election has caused me and now that I have finally voted early and have piece about it, I could easily chalk it up to a "God thing."


Now, please don't misunderstand what I'm about to say. It's not that I believe that God is not in those things. Rather, I believe that God is in ALL things and all aspects of our lives.


I think that humans make a mistake when they assume that they need God's help and grace for decisions such as who to vote for but not what music to listen to or what to wear in the morning.


Now, obviously, there are some things that are semi-automatic on our behalves. We chew, we swallow, we breath, we brush our teeth, we wash our bodies in the shower, we turn the steering wheel, we put our foot on the break...etc. Is God in those things?


In the words of the somewhat obnoxious Sarah Palin who I so painfully voted for today "You betcha!"


God is absolutely in those things and without His strength and His grace, guess what? We couldn't even breath.
