“The works of his hands
are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy” (Psalm 111:7 NIV).
Have you been a witness to a miracle lately?
There are 37 miracles recorded in scripture that Jesus performed. The apostles
also performed miracles after Pentecost. Miracles are still happening today. I
have witnessed several in my life and will tell you about them so you can have
hope that miracles are still happening.
We have a dear friend who was in a very
scary accident several years ago. His vehicle was totaled and it was a miracle
that he wasn’t killed on impact. He was very critically injured and suffered
from a severe head injury. He told me that when he was at the hospital laying
on the gurney, he saw God and God told him that he was going to be alright. He
said he never knew or remembered any of the long recovery in the hospital. He
said he couldn’t remember pain either. God had been with him. Now he shows no
signs of having any brain damage whatsoever, which is a tremendous miracle, as
he was very severely injured. He believes he was saved for a reason and uses
every opportunity to serve his Lord and help others.
When we lived in Wooster, Ohio,
I had a scary experience with my eye. I had a blood vessel burst in the back of
my eye. The eye doctor told me he was very concerned about this because it
meant that something very serious was wrong. He told me to come back in a
couple of weeks because he wanted to check it again. On my way home, I decided
that I would pray about a healing for my eye fervently. Needless to say, I prayed constantly that God
would heal my eye because I didn’t want to lose my sight. When I went back, the
eye doctor was amazed. He said that he had never seen that kind of bleeding
heal all by itself. There wasn’t a sign that any problem was there at all. I
rejoiced on the way home that God had heard my prayer and healed me.
Now, some of you may be sitting there and
saying, “But God did not answer my prayer for healing.” I cannot explain why
some people are healed and others are not. But I do know that if you are a
Christian no matter if you are healed or not, you are in God’s hands. Even Paul
had “thorn” that God would not take away, but Paul said that God told him,
“My grace is sufficient
for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9 NIV). You can be a witness to others by trusting
God when you are seeking a miracle. You can be a light to others who need to
know that God is giving you the strength to handle whatever comes your way.
If you are seeking a miracle, pray and have
faith and leave it in God’s hands. If a miracle has happened to you, then
witness to others about what a great God we have.
Dear Lord,
My life is in your hands.
Help me to believe you can do anything. Help me trust you with my life, knowing
you will be with me through any crisis that happens to me. Give me faith to
believe that all things are possible through you.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
