Bill Lites our normal Wednesday blogger has internet issues and was unable to send in his post for Wednesday. A true miracle occurred this week, I have written a blog post and have it ready to go. so I am posting Wednesday in the hope that Bill will be with us Thursday.
On the Porch
Onisha Ellis
I believe in miracles, in fact I delight in miracles so much they send my soul into a happy dance. My favorite miracle is seeing God bring people together to meet a need, encourage someone or heal a heart. I have lived long
enough to look back through time to see how God guides the threads of our lives in His hand then draws together those lives to create a miracle. It confirms to me how intimately God cares for every aspect of our lives. I wish I could draw well because this would be one of my favorite pictures.
As I was thinking about these small miracles, my heart questioned me about the big miracles. Why don’t I feel the same joy when I pray for the “biggies” like freedom from bad life habits, healing and even salvation? Of course I pray for those miracles and say all the right words but where is the joyous expectation?
Here is my question: Do I rejoice in small miracles because I am afraid to yearn for big ones?
UPDATE: Monday morning, shortly after writing this I received a call that my precious 10 year old grandson was having silent seizures and needed an MRI ASAP. I marvel at how God led me to search my heart so that I can joyously expect a miracle.
