Have you ever gone on a God Hunt? A God Hunt begins when you teach yourself to look for God’s hand at work in the every day occurrences of your life. Here’s one of my personal God Hunt Sightings:
 
 
 
Liz McFadzean, from La Canada, California, is a practiced God Hunter. She dipped into an ordinary day to find this divine intervention:

“Today is my tennis day. I play every Friday with a couple of friends. On Tuesday I saw my doctor about a little tendonitis in my right thumb. She asked me not to play tennis for a week in order to let it rest. Not to be waylaid in my plans, I whined and said, ‘But I want to play.’ My doctor relented, but strongly recommended that I put ice on it after my game.

“Last night one of my tennis pals cancelled because of a conflict. The other called this morning with a stuffy nose. My Friday game is off! Do you think God did that for me to take care of me when I wouldn’t take care of myself? I am thanking Him today, because my God cares more about my welfare than I do. What a great, kind loving God we have.”

Along with Liz, I spy God!
