Miracles

In the beginning, God made our world out of something formless and empty. 

God spoke and there was light, air, earth, sun, moon, stars, trees, plants, fish, birds and animals.

God breathed into man and he became a living person.

I consider these all pretty miraculous. Who else could do any of this?

God sent a flood, that opened the fountains of the deep and poured water from the sky as had never happened before, to cleanse the earth of man's wickedness.

God gave an old couple a child of promise. He parted the Red Sea, parted the Jordan River, and caused the walls of Jericho to tumble. God sweetened the bitter waters, many times in fact. Water gushed from the rock at God's command. Manna came from heaven. God routed armies, told the sun to stand still, and even turned back time. God can work miracles for His people!

God sent oil and flour without fail, with water in the well. He brought a boy back to life. He carried his prophet away in a whirlwind with chariots of fire. This is only scratching the surface. There's lots more!!!

When Jesus came:

A virgin conceived and bore a son. An old, barren woman also conceived and bore a son.

Water became wine. Paralytics walked, the dumb spoke, the blind saw, the demoniacs were freed. The dead rose to life again. Jesus is able to do the miraculous. He can still do these things!

Five thousand were fed with five loaves and two fish. Water walking was not out of the question. The wind and waves obeyed His command. A woman's faith and the touch of His garment brought healing. A little girl woke up. Lazarus came out of the tomb. The widow's son was returned to her alive. I could go on and on and on... Even the Bible says that there was so much more that Jesus did than what they were able to record.

Miracles. God performs them for His people. Jesus says, "Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you."

Oh me of little faith! Lord, I believe. Please help my unbelief!
