Miracles

The Winter Olympics are soon approaching which reminds me of an amazing story of the USA hockey team back in 1980. They were faced with defeating the favored and extremely talented Soviet Union team. The USA team stunned the Soviet Union team with a 4-3 win.


Al Michaels was on the call and he asked a question that I think we need to ask ourselves, “do you believe in miracles?”. Now, I don’t think Al Michaels was talking about our Christian life but it is a really good question. As we continue through the New Testament together, we see miracle after miracle. As a matter of fact, today’s reading deals with Jesus healing the paralytic, Jesus healing the bleeding woman, restores a girl to life and more. My question to you today is do you believe that God still does miracles?

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”. (English Standard Version, Hebrews 13:8)

In a society where it seems as if technology is the answer for so much it is easy to forget that our God still does miracles! As a matter of fact, our everyday life is full of different miracles. Some we see and some we do not. Our God does not work within the borders of “possibility”. God has no borders. He can do whatever he wants. He can heal the sick, bring life to the lifeless, restore a broken marriage, heal a broken heart. Our job is to trust God, trust that He will take care of us. That doesn’t mean that we will always get the miracle that we are hoping for but part of trusting God is believing that He is working for your good! Whether we can see the good in something or not, His ways are always perfect.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (English Standard Version, Romans 8:28)

God is still working, still moving, and yes, still doing miracles. I hope that when asked the question that Al Michael’s asked of everyone watching, you will answer as he did…and say “YES”!
