Isaiah 43:16-17
16 This is what the LORD says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,
17 who drew out the chariots and horses,
the army and reinforcements together,
and they lay there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
I once heard a story about a college student who was in a discussion with a college professor. The professor insisted science had proven the place where the Israelites crossed the Jordan River was only about ankle high, so there was no real miracle. The student began smiling and said, “Praise the Lord!” The professor, now completely confused asked why in the world the young man was so excited when he had just disproved God’s supposed miracle. The student replied, “Because you just proved that the entire Egyptian army was drowned in just a couple of feet of water and that Sir, is quite a miracle!”
It is a sad life if you don’t believe in miracles. Miracles are all around us every single day. If you want to find long-lasting joy in your life acknowledge those miracles. Sometimes they are as simple as finding that close parking spot on a rainy day. Other days, it is watching your son play soccer who was told 6 months previous that he would never walk again. You can try to explain them away as coincidences, but not me. I am a firm believer in Rule #39 from Gibbs on NCIS, “There are no coincidences.” There may be reasons I don’t understand, but God sees them all and knows all the possible outcomes. He knows how to place miracles all around me. Today I choose to seek joy by recognizing them and giving thanks to God for each of them!
Lord, I want to acknowledge You today for the many miracles you put in my life. Thank You! ~amen
