Miracles

JESUS: THE LORD IS SALVATION

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

We all lose hope, and lose fight, and lose focus. But He does not lose faithfulness.

The book of Deuteronomy primarily recounts things that happened or are already told before. Therefore, a major theme of this book is to "remember".

You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today.
(Deuteronomy 15:15)

How important it is to remember that God saved us, and how he saved us. Don't we be like the rebellious Israelites, who failed to remember how miraculously God delivered them from slavery, and began to whine in the wilderness. Their complaints ultimately kept them there for a very long time.

Don't let our despair keep us from inheriting the amazing things that the Lord has in store for us. Despair is equivalent to unbelief. Don't lose hope in Him. Look back on your life. In the past, has God changed your heart toward Him in such a way that you find miraculous? It is miraculous. You were dead to the things of God, and now you see, you really see.

If you don't have such a past, don't despair either. Be envious of such an experience, because it demonstrates that you really do hope to love God too. Furthermore, our highest assurance is the Word of God, not personal experience. And He promised that whoever calls upon His name shall be saved. Now, if there was one person in the universe whose promises we can trust, who would it be? 
 
remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
(Ephesians 2:12-13)

I do believe in miracles. I believe that what is impossible for man is possible for God. I believe He can raise the dead. And I believe He can make me love Him.

I believe that suffering will make perfect sense to me one day.
