Spencer W. Kimball, the twelfth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often spoke about the importance of recognizing the hand of God in our lives through the actions of others. He believed that God does indeed notice us and watches over us, but that He often works through other people to meet our needs.Kimball's teachings on this subject are rooted in his deep faith and understanding of the scriptures. In the Bible, there are numerous examples of God using individuals to help His children. For example, in the story of Joseph in the Old Testament, God used Joseph's brothers to bring about His plan for Joseph to become a ruler in Egypt. Similarly, in the New Testament, Jesus often performed miracles through the hands of His disciples.
Kimball emphasized the importance of being aware of the ways in which God is working in our lives through the actions of others. He believed that when we recognize these moments, we are able to see God's love and care for us more clearly. In a talk given in 1974, Kimball said, "God does notice us, and He watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs."
Kimball also taught that we have a responsibility to be instruments in God's hands to help meet the needs of others. He believed that by serving and loving those around us, we are able to show God's love to them and be a blessing in their lives. In a world that can often feel chaotic and overwhelming, Kimball's teachings remind us that we are not alone and that God is always looking out for us, even if it is through the actions of those around us.
