Growing up I've been taught a lot from the bible, and I've always been made to believe that the miracles recorded in the bible did happen. As a child, I believed everything that I was taught, but as I grew up I began to read and examine things for myself, to know what to believe and what not. After so much examination, now the question is: Do I believe in Miracles?
The truth is, apart from the miracles recorded in the bible, our world is full of miracles!
What is a Miracle?
An extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs_Source
Let's consider some modern accomplishments that may have been considered impossible few decades ago:
An airplane can transport more than 800 people non stop from one country to another
Songs can be stored on a device smaller than a box of matches
Surgeons can successfully do transplant of hearts, kidneys and other body parts
We can have face to face conversations with people in different continents with the help of video conferencing.
We can conclude logically that if humans can accomplish all these and more which seemed impossible few years ago, surely God can accomplish a whole lot more! He's the creator of the universe and everything in it, he even created humans!
In the past, God empowered some humans to perform miracles such as raising the dead, healing the blind, curing the sick, multiplying food and more...
Today there are still miracles performed by God himself! He often comes in situations to save us from distress.
I can relate to many experiences in which God performed a huge miracle for my family.
We all can relate to that of COVID-19 when we were all in lockdown and we could not go out to work, we still had food to eat because God was providing for us through many ways!
We have escaped a lot of trials through God's help, I appreciate so much His miraculous works!
Apart from this one's we see as extraordinary that we easily notice, there are everyday miracles:
Birth: The birth of a new life is a miracle. A mother carries her baby in her womb for 9 months and delivers a tiny little baby, and then within a twinkle of an eye the baby grows, starts talking and later becomes an adult and also produce another baby. This is indeed a wonder! A Miracle!!!
Healing: The ability of the human body to heal itself whether physical or emotional wounds is another interesting miracle that we must appreciate God for. It is amazing how we can feel pain and tomorrow the pain is gone!
That the sun keeps rising and setting everyday is a miracle, it doesn't fail to do is work. And it keeps reminding us of nature's beauty and calms our hearts from distressed thoughts.
There's a song I enjoy singing and it's entitled "The miracle of life". Part of the lyrics says:
Every drop of rain
Every golden ray of sun
Each herd of grain
All are gift from God
They reveal his ways
Miracles performed by him sustain us each day!
Every tiny gift from God is to be appreciated, we thank him everyday for the gift of life, it is the most wonderful thing.
So do I believe in Miracles? Of course I do, Jehovah God works a lot of Miracles for us today, and I believe that all his promises to restore perfect life and happiness in the future will come true because he has the power to perform extraordinary miracles!
This has been my participation in the #memoirmonday contest and the question posed by @ericvancewalton I really like the topic and I'm glad to share my views for the first time in this community!
See you all next time 🤗
