“It’s a God thing” is a phrase frequently spoken in Christian culture. It is always said in response to something good that has happened.

“It’s a God thing” can be said about anything perceived to be good such as miracles of healing, finding a parking space, or Proposition 8 passing.

It is not said when something bad happens. When met with bad news, you are more likely to hear someone say “It was God’s will.”
