Psalms 77:11
11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
Can you remember when God came through for you? Probably more than you can count. He will come through for us, and he is still in the miracle working business. I can remember when my wife was going through a physical thing that tested my faith in a great way. She was almost in a paralyzed state, and couldn't even get out of bed. My kids were very young at the time, and I can remember taking her to the hospital with my kids a few times to find out what was going on. I felt so helpless. They ran test after test but couldn't figure out what was wrong. I began to fast and pray, and I called some prayer intercessor's that I knew of at the time to pray for her. God brought us through with the help of friends, family, and prayer warriors. We never figured out exactly what it was, but I really believe that it was a miracle. Another memory that comes to mind is with my brother and his wife. They were at an office max, and this little boy ran away from his mother at a very fast pace. My Sister-in-law saw the little boy run to the automatic doors and immediately said the word, "Jesus!" The doors would not open at all. When the mother got to her little boy, the doors opened and a car was driving very fast in front of those doors at the same time the little boy would have ran in front of that car. Coincidence? I don't think so. It's the miracle working power of God almighty stepping in and honoring our prayers. I believe there were angels at that automatic door. Today I want us to reflect on the memories that kept us alive. I believe that God does intervene many times in our life, and there are times that we will never know that He was right there. God wants us to realize that He holds us in the palm of His hand to never ever let us go. He does love us.
Prayer:
Lord help us today to trust you like never before. Lord we know that we need to trust you in the good times and the not so good times. You never change Lord, and you hold us in the palm of your hands. Help us to never forget the times you allowed us to cross the red sea, and help us to reflect on you in a great way today, Amen.
I believe miracles of God still occur today, but there is also an increasing abundance of counterfeits. Inspirational religious leaders draw multitudes with promises of miraculous healing and deliverance, but increasing spiritual discernment is necessary to avoid serious dangers posed by charlatans, who prey on those in need. When people claim miracles that bring glory and financial profit to men, you can know they are not of God.
