don't miss the small miracles


Psalm 69:32  NLT
The humble will see their God at work and be glad.  Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.

I love stories.  But the best stories are the true ones that speak of life and real situations.  That’s why people love reality TV.  Can’t get enough of it. 

Yet what I am talking about is people sharing what God is doing in their lives.  We hear about people accepting Jesus and their lives being changes.  We hear about healing as people battle health issues and become well.  We hear about God opening doors for work or help and a number of other things.  God is still in the miracle business. 

Some of those miracles are big, and some are small.  Let me ask you a simple question: do we miss the small miracles that God does?  It is the answers to answer that are off our mental radar.  This could be the answer of help with a test at the doctor’s office or the test at school.  It could be the prayer for your child to not be sick again or to be able to get through a meeting or have wisdom.

I believe it is the small miracles that we miss through each day that string together to make our faith grow strong.  We look for miracles all the time.  The healing from cancer or the rainbow after the flood are awesome miracles.  The small miracles that only you will see or know are just as important as the big ones.

In fact God says that if we are faithful in the small things that He will help us with the big things.  Our prayer lives and the miracles that follow remind us that God loves us and wants to work in every area of our lives.  God loves us and has a plan for each of us.

Watch for what God is doing.  Don’t miss the small miracles.  God is working to save those who are lost.  God is still working in the things that matter to me and to you.  Keep on praying.  Keep on looking.  Again, don’t miss the small miracles.  God is at work!

Romans 1:16   NLT
For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ.  It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
