Even without seeing or hearing God, I know that He is active in my life. I am not sure that I can narrow it down to one time when I knew He was active in my life. I guess I would have to say it was when we were in a car accident a few years ago. We were driving on the highway, going uphill in late November. A woman was coming down the hill o the other side of the median. The road was icy and it was snowing a bit. She lost control of her truck, left the highway, crossed the median, and hit our van on the driver’s side. It busted out all the glass and pushed in the front bumper, front quarter panel, driver’s door, driver-side sliding door, and rear liftgate. It pushed the driver’s door in so much that the armrest was under the steering wheel. My wife and I walked away without as much as a scratch. I couldn’t see God’s hands around us or our van and I couldn’t feel Him holding onto us and keeping us safe from the harm that came, but He was there. God protected us and kept us safe that morning.

Our relationship is based on evidence that we don’t sometimes see, hear, feel, or smell, but He is with us at all times. God answers our prayers all the time and He is still in the business of performing miracles. Just because we don’t have tangible evidence doesn’t mean He isn’t active in our lives.
