Do you See the Miracles that are Right in Front of Your Eyes


Verses: John 7 : 25 - 31

My thoughts about the verses:

Just imagine seeing something that you never seen before.   Imagine being awe inspired by the beauty before your eyes.  Then that thought pops up in your mind can it be bigger and better.  You know what you saw is a miracle in itself yet, continuing to look for something more.

I love taking photos of fungi.  I believe it is one of the most beautiful things that happen naturally in the world.  The thought that a little water and decaying wood can bring such a beautiful thing.  I am so blessed to have friends that encourage me to go to my limits.  They know I have limits but they do not allow me to throw in the towel.  It was one of those moments that allowed me to take this shot.

Imagine knowing this was just a few feet away but being afraid to take those few steps to reach it. Knowing you have done all you could do for the day.  See the colors and know that if you could just reach deep down you could take two more steps and see it.  Then having someone encourage you just enough so that you could see something that was a miracle of God.  Then you wonder what else I have missed because I had gone as far as I could.  Are there more beautiful things just out of my reach?   Yet, if I had that extra hand I could reach it.  Take two more steps and be able to enjoy the beauty.

This is exactly what the Hebrew people were thinking.  We have seen the great works that this man has done.  If he is not the Messiah is there more to come.  Are the Jewish leaders accepting this man as Messiah.  What signs will the Messiah show to prove that he is the true Messiah?  See what they were expecting wasn't what they were getting.  They thought some great mighty warrior would come and conquer the land.  In reality, what was happening was that the Messiah was coming to perform the ultimate miracle the cleansing of the spirit.

Prayer:

Dear God thank you for the ultimate of miracles.  Thank you for sending Jesus to establish a new covenant.  Thank you for freely giving the gift of salvation so that all could be free.  We thank you for everything you have done.  We ask that you protect us.  We ask that you open our eyes to the little miracles that happen each day.  Help us Dear God learn how to be the help that others need.  Use us for your will.  In your name we pray  Amen

Questions:

Have you helped those around you?  Have you stepped outside your comfort zone?  Are you the miracle others need to see?  How can You show God's beauty every day to those that are searching for miracles?
