Did Miracles Stop with the Bible?

Your next question might be, “Did miracles stop with the Bible?” Again my answer would be no! Thousands of books have been written over the centuries, telling of how the Lord has worked through His people, and all those events are truly miraculous. I believe God uses us to do His miracle work on earth today. The Bible says God even gives His people ideas for witty inventions and developments. (See Proverbs 8:12 KJV.)

We only need to watch for the ways He works in our lives today to know this is true. His Word did not stop with the Bible, and it does not stay silent. It continues onward forever through us!

So, what is a miracle? The Microsoft Encarta Dictionary defines a miracle as “an event that appears to be contrary to the laws of nature and is regarded as an act of God, something admired as a marvelous creation or example of a particular type of science or skill or an event or action that is amazing, extraordinary, or unexpected.” The Microsoft Encarta Thesaurus adds: “A wonder, marvel, sensation, vision, dream.” I would dare to add that a miracle is an unexplainable occurrence which would seem impossible without God’s assistance, intervention, or plan.

Miracles don’t just happen out of the blue. If you understand that God is watching over you and protecting you during your short time on earth, you can rest in the fact that He has assigned His angels to protect you and arrange what you need to learn and do along your journey. Accepting Jesus as Lord and welcoming His Spirit to live within you assures you of His guidance and wisdom whenever you call upon Him. He is there to help you navigate every hour of every day. Once you understand why miracles are important to your walk with Him, you will begin to recognize when those miracles manifest themselves right in front of you.
