Miracles

When God is involved, anything can happen.

Charles Swindoll

You have read in My Word about many miracles where I initiated a divine operation that transcended natural law. The psalmist records, “When he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command” (Psalm 33:9). You are well aware of My power, and you have prayed for a miracle to transform your current difficulty into an easier, more comfortable situation. You’ve read accounts of Jesus turning water into wine, feeding huge crowds with a little boy’s lunch, calming the raging seas, and raising Lazarus from the dead—and you wonder why I have not yet spoken a word or lifted a hand for you.

Sometimes you may see dramatic answers to prayer that are indeed miraculous. But more often, the greater miracle will be in your heart as you develop a steadfast faith in the midst of adversity, focusing on the joy that awaits you in heaven. I want to mature your character so you will be grounded in Christ. Will you continue to trust Me, without being able to see what My higher purpose is in your suffering? Put your faith in Me. I will not let you down.

At present you trust him without being able to see him, and even now he brings you a joy that words cannot express and which has in it a hint of the glories of Heaven; and all the time you are receiving the result of your faith in him—the salvation of your own souls.

1 Peter 1:9, PHILLIPS
