It's a God thing

There are some popular sayings that bother me. One of those is "it's a God thing." Well of course it is, it is His world isn't it? People who use the phrase are usually referring to what is one of God's little miracles where He remains anonymous, you know what we often call coincidences.
Do you think that when Daniel woke up one morning in Jerusalem and the Babylonian army was marching down the street he said to his friends, "It's a God thing."? Well it was. Daniel 1 tells us that it was a God thing, God delivered them into the hands of the Babylonians. So when we say that it is a God thing to we mean only if it appears good for us? God can use those things, and often does, that don't seem apparently good for our own good, and that is a God thing.
