Can You See a Miracle?

In talking with someone I mentioned miracles and he said he had never seen a miracle in his life.  He has two children, wife, good job, and a home that is nearly paid.  And for years I had the same attitude.  If someone pulled through a surgery, medical technology and a good surgeon were given the credit.  And with everything else that took place, I could explain it away.

Then I began a study this year, called a Personal Growth Plan.  It drove my writing these blogs and has continued in new discovery of a book knowledge that became a heart knowledge. 
In opening my mind to beyond what I know, I looked back at events, pain, recovery, and experiences and see today where with every step I took someone was there guiding me.  Times when I asked to Lord to take me home so I did not have to endure pain seemed to fall on deaf ears.  Yet today I am thrilled that He did not listen to me.  

I say all this because my eyes have now opened to seeing miracles all around.  We at the end of our church’s Miracle Month and I see miracles taking place. Some of those are Miracles of Healing, New Jobs, Families restored, Financial, and Life change.

So what is a miracle?  When you do the Natural but it is not enough for success and then God walks in and does the Supernatural.  Many people just sit and say, “OK God do your thing.  I want to see your miracle NOW!”.  But that is not how it works.  If you are looking for healing, you go after the best care and then with faith watch God do the Supernatural.  

A close friend’s wife had brain surgery last week.  The doctors said if you don’t have the surgery it may be only days to weeks of life left.  The surgeon noted, "We have found that there is only a 25% survival even during the surgery.She went for the surgery and many of us were asking for a Miracle of healing and success.  She went through the surgery and is awake with the recovery expected within 90 days.  Wow!  The doctors give her a 25% chance of surviving the surgery and God made it 100% chance.  

That is just one of many miracles that I have seen and continue to see.  The difference is that I fully believe, have faith in the power of the Heavenly Father, and do what I can to take care of the Natural. Now I can see the Supernatural and give Him praise. 

When are you going to see Miracles?  Don’t wait as long as I have.  Trust me each day is exciting when Miracles are all around each day.  Maybe you need a Miracle.  Begin by believing, trusting and develop a faith that Miracles do happen.  Then do something and not just sit around.

Personal time with the Lord is a great start.
