On this wild adventure I’ve seen many things, heard many stories and met amazing people. Seen healings, seen deliverance, seen grace and salvation. I’ve seen mercy and passion, seen lives transformed. All very awesome but the things I’ve learned far out weigh the signs and wonders. I wish I had elegant words to express how free it feels to not chase after miracles to know that God is God and He doesn’t have to prove who He is. “Jesus told him, because you have seen you have believed, blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” John 20:29
I wonder how many times the Lord has spoken to us through simple things and we ignore, or simply don’t see because we’re too busy looking for the miraculous. Like Elijah standing at the entrance of the cave….Not in the Earthquake, Fire or thunder but in a small still voice.
He is my “father, dad, poppa” he doesn’t raise his voice to me. According to I Corinthians 13, He is patient, gentle and kind. Not boasting or showy. I’ve learned that miracles, signs and wonders are for the unbelievers, so that they my see and believe.
For those of us that get to be witness to the everyday miracles it’s a choice to look for the hand of God it all situations: delays in traffic to prevent an accident and keep us safe, The urge to help someone or simply make that call to encourage a friend, In the birth of a child or the saving grace of salvation. The face of child that learns or sees something for the first time. The awesome display of stars and a sun that rises and sets perfectly day after day. Aren’t those signs and wonders? Do we really need miracles from far off lands to know that He is who is…..The Great I AM, who loves us just because He loves us.
