"My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your
ways My Ways..." Isaiah 55:8
Have you ever found yourself frustrated with God when you
really depended on Him to provide a miracle or blessing and it didn't happen the way you wanted it to? I would certainly answer "yes" to this question myself,
but am also just now beginning to learn and understand God's ways much better than my own, and
by no means are they our ways. That, my friends is a good thing!
Some people do not believe that God actually works miracles
at all, while others are convinced that something is wrong with their faith if
God is not performing miracles on a daily basis.
You see, God works in both ordinary and supernatural
ways. God used a pretty ordinary stream to provide the prophet,
Elijah, water when he needed it the most. When the brook ran dry, there
was no miracle, it just signaled Elijah to move on to the next thing that God
had planned for him. Think about Jesus' first miracle; He transformed
water to wine at a wedding celebration. Jesus also raised a man from the
dead and He Himself rose from the dead after three days. I don't know
about you, but I would label all three as miracles!
It's easy to look at God's bigger works, the miracles, to
see His presence. We must also look for His works in the everyday, common
events in our lives too. For He is there and is always opening and
closing doors, creating new opportunities, when we are not even aware that He
is there!
