Today in church the pastor talked about miracles and that often times our miracle is just waiting for us if we just go ahead and receive it. He used passages found in scripture like Galatians 3:5 Then does He Who supplies you with His marvelous [Holy] Spirit and works powerfully and miraculously among you do so on [the grounds of your doing] what the Law demands, or because of your believing in and adhering to and trusting in and relying on the message that you heard? (Amplified Bible) And James 2:26 Faith without works is dead. (NIV) I believe in miracles, in fact I went down front so that I could be prayed over for a miracle I want to see happen in my own life.
But the question I find myself asking quite a bit is why don’t we see more miracles in our lives. Is it because we don’t truly believe that God can perform miracles, or is it that we don’t ask because we don’t think our request is truly miracle worthy?
For me, I think we don’t ask sometimes because we may be scared, that God may just give us that miracle. That sounds strange I know but think about it, if God answered some of the things we would like to see happen in our lives it shock the socks off us. I also think we sometimes don’t ask for some miracles because of the responsibility that would be required on our part. Maybe your miracle hasn’t happened yet because you haven’t acted out in faith.
Faith is a huge part of miracles. Think about that for a minute, a miracle is performing something that is beyond human capabilities, something out of the ordinary. That takes a huge amount of faith.
So maybe the question shouldn’t be why don’t we see more miracles happen today, but how are we when it comes to our faith. Are we stretching our faith enough to allow God to do something worthy of a miracle or we just playing it safe and only asking for the things we know will happen anyway?
