Divine Miracles

Divine Miracles

All things were made by him,
and nothing was made without him.

John 1:3

From where I write I can see several miracles.

White-crested waves slap the beach with rhythmic regularity. One after the other the rising swells of salt water gain momentum, humping, rising, then standing to salute the beach before crashing onto the sand. How many billions of times has this simple mystery repeated itself since time began?

In the distance lies a miracle of colors— twins of blue. The ocean-blue of the Atlantic encounters the pale blue of the sky, separated only by the horizon. . . .

Miracles. Divine miracles.

These are miracles because they are mysteries. Scientifically explainable? Yes. Reproducible? To a degree.

But still they are mysteries. Events that stretch beyond our understanding and find their origins in another realm. They are every bit as divine as divided seas, walking cripples, and empty tombs.
