I had a teacher tell me when I was younger that the very best feeling in life was to know without a doubt in a given moment in time that God knows who you are and that he is directly intervening to bless your life very specifically and in a way you don't fully deserve.

I'm not sure I understood or even appreciated his comments as a thirteen year old (kind of like the saying, "I never knew how right my father was until I had a child who thought I was wrong"). But they now make a lot of sense to me.

Some things are too personal to relate fully, but have you ever had that feeling? Have you ever known that everything happening to you and unfolding before you was absolutely none of your own doing but instead was divine intervention and the mercies of God?

I guess the truth is that everything really fits into that category, although we don't always realize it as it is happening. But when you do recognize it as it happens, it is quite an experience. Feels kind of like having a front seat to watch Ammon defend King Lamoni's flocks and realizing what you are watching is about much more than some scattered sheep and a strong servant.
