Miracle of all…
The Miracle of All Miracles
Miracles. When the word is mentioned, most of us would think of healing for the sick, an unexpected financial blessing, an answer to difficult prayer, or a person coming back to life. Our hearts yearn to see these things, and our prayers are full of pleas for our omnipotent God to show Himself strong to a world that is trying to convince itself that He does not exist. We need miracles. We need signs. We need wonders.
The truth is, we already have them all around us; we are just not seeing them.
Every creature that exists is a testament to the awesome, creative ability of a holy God who chooses to create us, even knowing our faults in advance. Every prayer answered, no matter how small, proves that God cares about even the mundane things of our lives. Every time God says “no,” it proves His love because He knows our future and what’s best for us.
When God speaks to us, we experience a moment of divine connection with the most powerful essence in the entire universe. To understand that God knows the number of hairs on our head shows He is interested in every part of us. He doesn’t just think about His own power and glory, He actually thinks of us–flawed humans who often have little time for Him in return. He sometimes waits to answer us simply because He’s enjoying the time we are giving Him and He wants it to last.
When we look for miracles, suddenly we find that life with God itself is a miracle. Then we come to this realization that God really is good, not just a few, but to each of us. And we find that He is working in our lives all the time, and He actually enjoys us. A perfect God, desiring to simply be with a sinful human…that is the miracle of all miracles!
Pray:
- For awareness to discern how God is working around you
- For a heart that senses how He is trying to heal your emotions, thoughts, and mind (soul)
- For eyes to see Him in the secular, the mundane, in others, and in nature
- For ears to hear Him as He speaks to you about the simple things of life
- For a yearning to change and become one with His Spirit
- For patience to wait and listen for Him
- For an intentional effort to get to know Him for who He is, and what He likes
- For a mind to remember what He’s done for you already
- For faith to believe that He’s watching, listening, and thinking of you right now
