“Let’s not forget that the laws of nature— physical, biological, and astronomical— are miracles in and of themselves.”

A thought by Mark Batterson (2014-09-02) from his book, The Grave Robber: How Jesus Can Make Your Impossible Possible (p. 51). Baker Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. (Click on the title to go to Amazon.com to buy the book.)

I remember hearing the story of this house being in a flood.  The people in it started praying for God to deliver then.  Some people came in a rowboat and asked them to get in but they said, “The Lord will provide.”  They must have prayed that God would provide in a certain way.  The waters got to the point that they had to climb up on the roof and a helicopter came to rescue them and they didn’t get in and they said, “The Lord will provide.”  Of course they died and when they got to heaven they asked God why He didn’t take save them, why He didn’t provide and He said, “But I sent you a rowboat and a helicopter.”  But it wasn’t what they were looking for.

God does provide in so many ways but it isn’t what we believe a miracle looks like. 

I know some would say why aren’t there miracles happening today like they did back in the Bible and I want to say just look around.  Look at all the knowledge that people now have.  Look at all the Doctors, all the Hospitals.  Where do you think that came from?  It came from God.

We get sick and we pray for healing but we don’t go see a doctor or do what they say when we do and wonder why we don’t get well.  God gave them their ability and He wants us to use it.  Oh yes He still does provide in more supernatural ways but He also provides through other people.

Look around.  There are so many miracles of God.

So what are you asking His to do for you?
