Unrecognizeable and Unacknowledged Miracles
We don’t see miracles because we aren’t looking for them in the right places. We wait for the spectacular, the unexpected, the obvious--so that means that many people wouldn’t see them. BUT, I’m convinced miracles are seen in how God orchestrates things and how He is always connecting things. I can’t claim to be a Calvinist--I’m a 3.5 on a good day--sometimes a 4.0 if I’m really feeling good--and sometimes a 3.0 if I’m down. It wasn’t theology that started me in that drift--too many contradicting verses--too much reading of implications from both sides to build an airtight case either way. So what did it? Seeing God put people and circumstances together.
Last week, I was in Omaha and an incredible opportunity presented itself in a country. My job was to help the church determine its legitimacy, then help them connect. Three days later, I wound up meeting with the leader of a particular country that part of that project would involve. Accident? No way! I once heard David Wilkerson say a couple of years ago how is it that one person can sit on a pew and experience God so powerfully and another couldn’t. The answer, in reality, is who has the eyes to see and hear what God is doing and who is oblivious. Help us see God.
