God is very mysterious, but behold the eminent truth: events happen through His will and his command in ways that we don't immediately recognize.  God is working in our lives and he is there, but it is up to us to give our attention to the little things that he does for us.

Many say that obeying god causes good things to happen because God stands for actions that allow longer term happiness.  This is a logical claim.  For example, if somebody followed God's commandments by treating everyone how they wanted to be treated, and because of that had deep friendships and a satisfying social life, this would be a mysterious work of the creator.

God knows what's right, and this is his future, gradually unfolding.  He has something in mind for each of us, and we may already be there.  It is up to us to appreciate the way that our creator works within our lives.  Even if all of our problems aren't solved on this problem, another work of God is the great comfort derived from the assurance of eternal peace in heaven.

If we devote our lives to what God stands for, he will work through us, and so will his will.  If people come together and follow God, the possibility for good is endless.  The more people doing good, the more His essence can work through the daily lives of others and add the meaning and quality many search for forever.

God's work also has the intent to destroy evil, and it will when we recognize how eternally good He is and how great the possibilities for each life are.

To illustrate what I have claimed, I will tell a story of mine.  There once was a older girl who decided that she would follow God.  Before this, she had felt empty.  Before this, she had said that she followed God, but truly hadn't.  This girl was me.  Then I started to think of the Bible's teachings in the highest regard and it changed my life forever.  I could not proceed with confidence and I grew up to have a steady husband and loving family - a true gift from god.

I'm sure many of you can also see God working in your lives and I can only hope that my perspective on the divine beauty of our creator was insightful and applicable to your own life.
