Is God still in business of miracles? In today’s culture, some people hold that the
age of miracles is over; that it ended when the Bible was completed. Others
take the opposite position and say miracles are available to everyone, if they
only have enough faith to believe. But
thinking of miracles in those terms limits God, by attempting to define the
parameters of His sovereignty. In Isiah 55:8 God tells us “For my thoughts are
not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. So the
truth of the matter is God can do what He chooses, when He chooses, for whom He
chooses, and for whatever reasons He chooses.
I think in all our business, as we rush through each day we
miss array of miracles that God has given us. Like the miracle of a beautiful sunrise
or sunset, or in a baby’s smile, or a loved one’s laugh, or (for me, my
personal favorite) the miracle of a close parking space on a busy street. It’s
the day to day miracles that we totally overlook or are too busy to take
notice. But perhaps the greatest miracle
of all is that miracle when a sinner accepts Christ and passes from an eternal
death sentence to eternal life with Him.
What are your thoughts about miracles? Do you have any
miracle stories you would like to share?
