Have you ever had something miraculous happen to you? We tend to think of miracles as big things such as winning a million dollars or getting healed from cancer. When these types of big things happen, they are incredible! And we should give God the glory. But too often we forget to remember the everyday miracles that God puts right in front of us.
We miss getting in a car accident by just inches, or, we gain the courage to try something new. We find the perfect dress for the perfect occasion (for girls), or a butterfly flutters across our path – these are many a small miracle that we tend to take for granted.
The Bible says that not one sparrow falls without God knowing about it. ”Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.” -Matthew 10:29
Things that may seem small really are miraculous. It is a miracle to me that we have so many jobs in America, even if the unemployment rate is high. It's incredible that my Father in heaven takes care of my mom everyday, and there isn’t more crime and hated among people with everything negative that’s happened to each of us. The presence of love is a small miracle in itself! But I can also cite specific times when God did small miracles. It helps me recognize His presence and activity in my life.
Can you think of a time when God performed a miracle in your life, small or big? Reminisce on that today, and thank Him for it. If you can’t think of a time, ask God to reveal himself to you in this way. We never know what can happen when we have faith in our unfailing God.
