Miracles

I’ve started several posts lately and left them unfinished … but now I know what I’m trying to capture.

Life has been so good lately, so full of beauty, saturated with miracles.

Miracles, I’ve learned, are everywhere. Any evidence of God’s hand at work is a miracle, but we need to have eyes of faith to see them.

A speaker I heard recently, shared a comment that has stayed with me: “You’ve got to plan for miracles.”

I’ve thought about that a lot… it’s complex, because we can’t plan what the miracles will be, even though we might be full of suggestions for God.

What we can plan though, is that He will do something.

He will provide.

He will carry us.

He will stay with us.

And He will show up in all sorts of amazing little ways that become miracles when we see all of life through a faith-filled perspective.

Last week, it was a sunset that glowed vibrantly and felt like it was an “I love you” written across the sky from God.

On Monday, I got a soccer ball kicked into my face and knew I would need a visit to my chiropractor. But HOW would I get an appointment before leaving on my next trip?

Of course they were all booked up, but I asked to be placed on the wait list. Then I thanked God that even if I couldn’t get my shoulders adjusted, He would heal me or make a way possible to enjoy my weekend away.

Five minutes later, the receptionist called back and had an availability for that evening – 15 minutes after I would leave my bank. The driving time was 10 minutes.

Coincidence? Personally, no. I give God the glory and thanks for those moments!

I’ve met people who speak truth into my life and share encouragement that is exactly what I need at the time.

Each encounter fills me with awe at His goodness, in arranging these meetings.

Then there’s been this whole car situation… I needed to get a spare key cut, but their schedule was completely full last night. They offered to squeeze me in first thing this morning, and I absolutely thanked them – and God!

When I arrived this morning, they said the key I need isn’t in stock. To state it mildly, my inner reaction to that wasn’t entirely calm. I replied without freaking out though, simply stating that I was told just last night that they have stock.

He disappeared to go and check, and returned saying it’s here.

I don’t know what happened there, but God knew I need that key this morning. So God took care of that little detail – that miracle.

He’s everywhere, working in every aspect of life, when you look for Him.

When you thank Him for all that He’s going to do on your behalf, in full faith that He is working, He will prove Himself worthy of your trust.

The miracles might not be the ones you ask for. Your ideas and suggestions cannot sway what He knows is best for you.

But no matter where you are, if you invite Him to work in your life in His way, you will begin to see miracles which are evidence of His interest in your life.

You’ve just got to plan for miracles!
