God does STILL work Miracles!

I love it when people say,

“God doesn’t work miracles like He used to in the Bible. He just watches this mess.” I laugh at that because it is as if everyone doesn’t realize how horrible the mess would be if all He did was watch. As people turn away from Him more and more it gets worse and worse because that is a natural consequence. Like children, when mom says,

“No, don’t touch that it is hot.” She takes the child away but he sprints to touch it and gets burned. We are those children.

I love it when something unexplained happens that is positive and people call it karma, luck, fate, in fact, they call it anything but miracle because that would mean there may be a creator and then that would mean they might need to know Him.

In my life alone God has done so many miracles that I could write another Bible filled with my own awesome stories of God’s work in my redemption! Let me assure you now, I do not intend on doing that.

However, I do want to talk about a recent miracle that God preformed in the life of this mother. My son got allergies this year. I was making sure he had lots of fluids and was eating properly and we suffered through together as mine also got excited. However, after two days of this he woke up with crusty eyes. Now I was out of my depth. I was concerned it was conjunctivitis so to the doctor we went. To my amazement, his eyes were fine, it was allergies. However, she listened to his lungs and found fluid in the lower right lung. Very minor she assured me it was just the beginnings but we put him on the medicine to clear it up! Amazing!! God brought me to the doctor with my son when he needed it but before it became anything serious! It was a Friday, just think how much worse it would have gotten in his tiny body in just 24 hours!

I pray every day for wisdom as both a wife and a mother because I KNOW I don’t know anything. In the past I’ve been so arrogant before the Lord to think that I could figure anything out. My role as both wife and mother keeps me constantly on my knees before the Lord! However, this role also gives me the privilege to watch God work miracles in their lives as well! Thank God, it is wonderful to watch Him work!
