The following is an excerpt from Dr. Veith's book, God at Work:
"When God blesses us, He almost always does it through
other people. The ability to read God's word is an inexpressibly precious gift,
but reading is an ability that did not spring fully formed in our young
minds. It required the vocation of teachers. God protects us through the cop on
the beat and the whole panoply of the legal system. He gives us beauty and
meaning through artists. He lets us travel through the ministry of auto workers,
mechanics, road crews and airline crews. He keeps us clean through the work of
garbage collectors, plumbers and sanitation workers, and the sometimes
undocumented workers who clean our hotel rooms. He brings people to salvation
through pastors and anyone else who proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the
lost. The fast food worker, the inventor; the clerical assistant, the scientist;
the accountant, the musician-they all have high callings, used by God to bless
and serve His people and His creation."

God even chose to come Himself as a simple carpenter and teacher to bring salvation to the world. Indeed God does work through people.
