God's Fingerprints


Recently my two granddaughters came for a visit. After they had gone home it was quite evident they had been in the house. Papers were scattered, and toys were left in plain site. But the most remarkable evidence of their presence came in the little fingerprints they left everywhere. You know it wasn’t the prints in the obvious places that impressed me. But those that were left in the obscure areas where I really did not even think they could reach or go. By this discovery I was reminded that everything has God’s fingerprints on it. It’s easy to see them in a beautiful sunrise, a snow-capped mountain or the smile of a healthy child, but what about those difficult situations in life? What about the times when the pain appears more evident than His presence; the storm appears more looming than the Spirit? Although they may not be obvious, God’s prints can be found in the bad as well as the good. There is never a time when he is not present and his hand is not reaching. If you look closely you will find that his fingers are meticulously working to assist you in all areas of your life. Why not look again; God’s fingerprints are everywhere.
