DAY 2: IS GOD TOO BUSY FOR THE LITTLE THINGS?
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Luke 12:7 (NIV)
Sometimes the “smallest” miracles can have the biggest impact on our lives. It’s incredible to think that God cares about all our requests—from stubbed toes to cancer, losing keys to losing loved ones.
I remember one “little” miracle that had a huge impact on me. It happened when my daughters Danielle and Eden were about two and three.
A friend and I had taken the girls to the beach and we had just arrived home. The girls peeled out of the car and raced for the steel gate in our front yard. Eden reached it a second before Danielle, swinging it wide. At the same time, Danielle lunged for the wrong side of the gate and let out a high-pitched shriek.
One of her tiny fingers had been pinched in the metal hinge. The skin and tissue on her ring finger was scraped back to expose the joint, which looked crushed. As her other tiny fingers curled, this finger couldn’t bend.
I took Danielle’s little hand in mine and prayed a simple prayer: “Be whole in Jesus’ name.” Immediately, her screams stopped.
I looked down at her finger, and although I could still see bare bone, the joint was no longer flattened and the finger curled naturally alongside the others. Scooping her up, I took Danielle into the house and sat her in the bathroom so I could run water over her finger. She seemed to be in no pain as she played happily in the water. After a few minutes, I turned to look at Danielle’s finger, I saw that beautiful new skin had completely covered the knuckle. Only about four minutes had passed, and she was completely healed.
This was an incredible miracle, yet it happened normally and naturally. Any onlookers would have seen nothing more than a father comforting his child, and experiences like this are what living the Spirit Contemporary life is all about. It’s about learning how to work with the Holy Spirit to see the miraculous. It’s not just for “churchy” people and it’s not designed to only work at church. It’s for everyday people who want to reach out to the people in their everyday lives… experiencing extraordinary results.
The truth is God wants to use YOU to help the hurting people you encounter in your everyday life—at the grocery store, coffee shop, gym, your school and your job. This is what being Spirit Contemporary is all about! Will you believe that you could be a part of a miraculous event today?
