Tuesday Tidbit: God’s fingerprints all over everything


Reading time: 45 seconds

How can you personally discover what A.W. Tozer discovered, and how can you work his message into your memoir?



Here Tozer is reflecting, a must in writing a memoir. He’s looking back, seeing the seemingly random pieces falling into place, noticing the deeper meaning, detecting a pattern, grasping the bigger picture.

It’s your job, as a memoirist, to notice—at least at some point—God’s fingerprints all over everything.

I have a hunch Lawrence Kushner’s thoughts, below, will inspire you, as well:

“God is . . . quietly, invisibly, secretly guiding our steps; feeding us our lines; moving us into position; unifying everything we do. We are chastened to realize that what we thought was an accident was, in truth, the hand of God.  Most of the time we are simply unaware. Awareness takes too much effort, and besides, it’s more fun to pretend we are running the show. But every now and then we understand, for just a moment, that God has all along been involved in everything.” (Lawrence Kushner, Eyes Remade for Wonder)

Consider how you can do some significant reflecting yourself 
and discover God’s fingerprints all over everything.


There you have it, your Tuesday Tidbit.
