Celebrating The Miracles

Wayne Grudem (a systematic theologian) defines a miracle as an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to God. The Bible is filled with miracle stories like that of the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14, the raising up of Lazarus from the dead in John 11, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the Gospels among many others. Similarly, our churches today are filled with miracle stories of healing, freedom from addiction, and extraordinary provision. If we are to lean on the teaching of apostle Paul, we can accept that it is because the same Holy Spirit that lived in Christ now lives in us.

While humanity tends to be the recipients of God’s miraculous work, it is important to ascribe the miracle-working power to none other than God Himself, and how we can do this is through praise. Throughout the psalms, we are called to praise God and in Psalm 107:21 the psalmist specifically exhorts us to give thanks to the Lord for “his wonderful deeds for mankind”. In yesterday’s reading, we referred to the Hebrew word hagag, which means to celebrate. This same word is said to be the Hebrew term that is most expressive of majestic praise, the type of praise that is reserved for our majestic God.


Reflection: Today, take some time to specifically remember the miracles that you have seen God do, not only in your own life but also in the lives of others.


Prayer: Lord, today I am in awe of the mighty works that You have done and continue to do in the lives of those You love. You are worthy of all praise and adoration. In Jesus' name. Amen.
