"Miracles"

The God who was and is to come
The power of the Risen One
The God who brings the dead to life
You're the God of miracles
- From "Miracles"

I love the truth this song declares. Because the reality is, sometimes we don’t experience a miracle in the way we prayed it would happen.

Yet even still, the truth remains: We serve a God of miracles. And though we might not understand why some things happen the way they do, we can take heart in the promise that God’s love and grace will be with us and will carry us through every situation.

So often the hardest part of experiencing difficult circumstances is deciding to take our eyes off what we face and keep our focus fixed on Christ. But it’s when we do this that we can see God moving in ways we never could have before.

I’ve experienced this so many times in my own life, and I pray that you will continually do so as well.

May we set our hearts as the psalmist declares in Psalm 121:1-2

I will lift up my eyes to the hills -
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

Remember, we serve and worship a God of miracles!
