Miracles Happen Every Day

Miracles happen every day. Some people believe that miracles only happen when a person performs a miraculous thing that changes something or makes a difference in a life or lives. This is true to a point but miracles do not just happen with people, every part of creation is miraculous and these miracles are a daily occurrence.  

Early Morning Miracles 
Every day starts with the miracle of life. During the night the land and all creation is at rest, well except for the nocturnal creatures. Thing is, many people take this for granted. There are those who concentrate on scientific reasoning or just say that it happens because it does. God reminds Job that these scientific things do not happen by chance but are His doing to bring life and nourishment to the world. 

Morning dew gives the first nourishment for plant life. This is not always guaranteed depending on the season. The dew gives the water needed for the plants and trees to release oxygen so we can breathe. Leaves, flowers and blades of grass need the water to grow. Plants that bear fruit store the water to develop food for all creatures. 

When birds wake they sing praises to God. God hears all His creatures. Waking up is something that is not guaranteed. Once again it is considered a natural event but we do not always wake up the same. It is possible that God uses the night in our slumber to give us our mood and plan for the day. 

Miracles in the World  
When the wind moves plant life, the song they sing brings joy and is a call for the insects to do their job. The sun is a gift that gives the light, warmth, and certain nutrients that give us life. Life itself is a miracle. Science can try to explain the functions but only God creates life.

There are many things that happen in the world that we just pass by without thinking about them. Have you ever just sat outside and just listened and smelled the world around you? God created so many things and caused so many other things to come into existence, all we have to do is look.

We Allow Distraction    
Every Word in the Pentateuch is God’s. The stories and words of the Prophets exist because of God's interactions with them. The wisdom of God is written so we can live a good life in the world. Our issue in this day and age is that we get distracted with technology, politics, work, and even our own lives. When we are distracted with things of the world we lose sight of the little miracles that happen all around us. Sometimes we completely put our relationship with God on the backburner and the Bible gathers dust.

What Should We Do?
The hardest thing to do is to remove yourself from distractions that have become habits. That game that you have to be on because you don’t want to lose a daily reward can wait until you have a conversation with God and read from the Bible. Find a verse on Sunday that you meditate on for the week and write about what you learned by Saturday. Meditate on what your pastor talked about on Sunday and if there is a challenge make that a priority for your week. Spend time with your loved ones even if it is over a video call of sorts. Yes, you can still play the game but remember that God and family comes first.  

Miracles are gifts from God to remind us who He is. Without God we would not be here and nothing would be the something that exists. We live for God because of God. We smell the roses, feel the wind, hear the birds, and see the beauty of creation because God made it so. We are not here by chance. 

This Week’s Challenge
This week I challenge you to put God first before everything. After you wake and have a conversation with God then you can have that morning pick up so you can read His Word. Once you spend time with God then go about your day and by the end of the week you will notice a difference in your desire for distractions because your desire to learn from God will hopefully increase. 

Remember, even though God knows all and sees all we should still let Him know that we recognize His work in our lives and our dependence on His presence.

Once we get to Saturday this week I would like you to send me a message if you noticed a difference in your walk with God. In fact, I would really like to hear from you. Maybe share your testimony or questions that you would like answered. We are family and I want to get to know you.

In God’s Embrace,
 Rob, Servant of God.
