God works wonderfully
through the faithfulness of people in many different vocations. It isn't just
through the clergyman that our Father providentially cares for and speaks to
us. It isn't just in a church building or at a church event that we can expect
to see God at Work.
In his book Gene Edward Veith observes God's mighty hand at work through every
day living and working: "God healed me. I wasn't feeling well, so I went
to the doctor. The nurse ran some tests, and the lab technicians identified
the problem; so the doctor wrote me a prescription, I got it filled at the pharmacist,
and in no time I was a lot better. But it was still God who healed me . . .
.
"God fed me, not with manna but with what the teenager working at the fast-food
joint gave me. God clothed and sheltered me, with the help of my employer. God
protected me, though I wish the highway patrolman hadn't pulled me over. God
gave me pleasure, thanks to the talents he gave that musician playing on my
new CD" (God At Work, p. 25).
