Outside my window, of my office, there is a 3 foot snow drift. Snow drifts are both beautiful and dangerous. When they form in your yard they are beautiful as they are formed by the wind into long flowing arches of whiteness. They are dangerous when that same wind whips drifts across roads making it perilous to drive.
The wind is a maker of snow drifts but they are random, ill placed and sometimes dangerous. God's hand on our lives is different. There is purpose, intentionality and a reason for us being where we are. I am reminded of the Old Testament use of the clay and Potter.
Isa 64:8 Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
Jer 18:6 "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the LORD. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
This is a wonderful reality for the believer to know that God is at work in your life on purpose with a purpose. Let Him form you by and to His will.
