Good morning everyone —it’s snowing!! It’s spring in Nova Scotia.
Our devotional reading from David Jeremiah‘s devotional “Daily In His Presence”, is a very interesting one today. Note the title “Miracle Memory”. What is a miracle? The dictionary says: it is a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be a work of a divine agency.
When we re-count the miracles performed by Jesus we are amazed to say the least. The Bible tells us of at least 35 miracles He performed. How can we read in the Bible about all that Jesus did in His short years of ministry, and still forget about Him in our lives?
Let’s look into our own lives, I am sure everyone can find a miracle or two over their lifetime. As for me, the first miracle I see everyday; is how He gives me the breath to breathe and follows that up with a good strong heartbeat.Thank you Lord.
These miracles are too easily taken for granted most often and perhaps not appreciated as much as they should be. We just assume we are going to breathe and our heart is going to beat. Well, what if it didn’t?
I have to say these are my most welcome events of my every day life!
After this time of COVID-19 and the lock down, we will hopefully be much more appreciative of the little things in life, like going to a movie, or out to dinner, or visiting a loved one in hospital or nursing home. Things like getting together for a coffee, or sing song. Gathering together for church, hugging each other after not seeing one another since the Sunday before. To me, these are all the “little miracles“ God grants to us every day, and too often we forget to thank Him. Our surprises and welcomed events that God grants unto us every day, thank you Lord.
As David says in the last paragraph we must treasure everything God does for us, big or small, building a miracle memory. Not only will it lessen our surprise, but it will also increase our faith. Well said David, and so very true!
So today, take some time and recount for yourself, the miracles you’ve seen in your life or the life of someone you know. Then ask yourself, “who could possibly perform such a miracle”, and you’ll have to answer, “God alone and only God”, could do such an extraordinary thing!!
So marvel in all He has done for you, be amazed at what He continues to do, be thankful for how He has blesses you beyond measure, give praise and honour to Him, tell the whole world, or at least those around you how wonderful our Father in heaven is. Now, look in the mirror and see the best miracle of all, in your life, —YOU — He loves you beyond measure.
Start building your miracle memory today and be thankful to the Lord who gifts you with these resources to do just that!!
Please continue to hold in prayer all of Nova Scotia today and give thanks to those who serve our province making Nova Scotia a beautiful place to live. God bless each and everyone who reads this and shares it with others, and tells of God’s miracles. In my kitchen hands a framed picture that reads, and I read it everyday:
Where there is Hope
There is faith
Where there is faith
Miracles happen.
Enough said, now watch for you miracle today.
