Many people are of the opinion that miracles never happened
or they stopped happening in Biblical times. Miracles are commonly defined as a surprising and welcome
event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore
considered to be the work of a divine agency. Most people will commonly associate the word miracle with an
act of God. God, according to
scripture, is all knowing and all-powerful. If all things are possible with God, then what is truly
miraculous about His actions? From
His perspective would they not just be seen as direct actions?
I find it to be far more exciting when seemingly impossible
things occur through human hands and attribute that to God working through
people. After all, possibility has
more to do with perspective than the confines of reality. Human hands are weak and failing, that
can be seen in many examples of life.
Still, incredible things do happen. There is a man called Richie Parker I recently posted a
story of who drives himself to work every day in a 1963 Chevy and performs the
duties of a high end automotive engineer for NASCAR. He has no arms. Some children are born and given no chances to speak,
live normally, or even survive.
Due to the persistent love of those parents, they are living very normal
lives. I recently helped a friend
who had his passenger mirror broken off of his car by the impact of another
driver. I simply did what I could
to repair that for him. To that
friend, it is a miracle that his mirror is on his car stronger than before and
working fine.
Miracles surround us every day within the examples of life
that surround us. It is very easy
to be overcome with difficulties to the point where we no longer notice they
are there. That does not take them
away. They live and grow through
the words we say that inspire changes to come. They thrive when we stop what we are doing to help
another. When we allow the
power of God’s love to work through us, the miracles of our words and actions
change the world.
