Do You Believe in Miracles? Tested Truth to Know

Do you believe in miracles?

Miracles are defined as…

♥ Events that appear inexplicable by the laws of nature and are believed to be supernatural in origin or an act of God. Something that causes wonder and astonishment, being extraordinary in itself and amazing or inexplicable by normal standards.

So, do you believe in miracles? I do!

I believe Jesus’ mother did, too. That’s why at the wedding in Cana, Mary acted confidently. She knew that God worked outside of the laws of nature.

Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and she lived for 30 years watching Him prepare for life-changing ministry.

So, we shouldn’t be surprised by her reaction to an uncomfortable situation…

There was a wedding celebration in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told Him, “They have no more wine.”

“Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”

But His mother told the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

John 2:1–5

I love that! Don’t you picture a twinkle in her eye as she says those words?

Mary was confident her Son had the power to solve this situation. She may not have known what He would do but because she knew He was (and is) the loving, caring, and compassionate Son of God, she trusted Him to do something!

That’s faith! It is remembering the “impossible” miracles God has done in the past and trusting Him to do what is needed in the present and the future.

For the disciples and the servants at the wedding, this became a miracle to remember.

Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used for Jewish ceremonial washing. Each could hold twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled, he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed His instructions.

When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over. “A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!”

John 2:6–10

Jesus didn’t just make a small amount of average wine, He miraculously provided six huge stone jars full of the “best.”

Weddings at that time were week-long celebrations. We don’t know when they ran out of wine but we do know that because Jesus loved His mother and didn’t want the host to suffer embarrassment, He provided what was needed.

I believe He still provides miracles today, because…

• Rev survived open heart surgery that the medical staff didn’t believe his heart could endure.
• Our oldest grandson was born at 24 weeks weighing 1 lb. 9 oz. and is a happy healthy almost 17-year-old.
• I could go on with more and I believe you have something you could add as well.

When people try to tell me the Bible is just a book of fairy tales and fables, I always pray that God will show them all the impossible things He has done in the past and will continue to do today, tomorrow, and forever.

Yes, I believe in miracles because I believe in God! Do you?

Let’s pray…

I Believe in Miracles
A Prayer Thanking God

Father God, You are the God of the impossible. You are beyond our comprehension. But through Your Word and all that You do in the world around us, You make it possible for us to know and believe what You want us to KNOW about You.

You are the God of miracles. Creation is a miracle. Salvation is a miracle. Your Word is a miracle. Transformed hearts and lives are miracles.

Your Word tells us about the countless times You worked miraculously to accomplish Your plans and purposes in the past, and You continue to provide, heal, and impact lives through divine intervention today.

Thank you for sending Jesus to show us the impact of Your miraculous love.

Thank you for giving Him a human mother and for her words that remind us to “do whatever He tells us.” Thank you for Your Spirit who graciously gives us the courage and strength to trust and obey.

By Your grace, I believe in miracles because I believe You, Lord; please give me everything I need to trust and obey. Amen.

The Lord may not provide every miracle we pray for…

We pleaded for Rev to receive another miraculous healing last year. But that doesn’t mean God can’t or that He doesn’t care.

It only means He knows the end from the beginning. He sees the full picture of our lives and always does what He knows is best for us eternally even when we don’t understand now.

So, like Mary, may we do “whatever He tells” us, trusting that He will act with love, care, and compassion.

Remember…

“The same Jesus Who turned water into wine can transform your home, your life, your family, and your future. He is still in the miracle-working business, and His business is the business of transformation.” ~ Adrian Rogers

May the Lord bless you with His loving presence, care, and compassion. May you believe in miracles!

We would love to pray for you.
