reading a newspaper article excerpt
to my son how everyday we're presented
with God's miracles as a living
testament of his Glory being timelessly
ever present.
Many people may scoff and dismiss the
Bible as merely an ancient history book
which does not hold any relevance within
our modern world.
Yet, the many miracles described through
out the Bible which demonstrates both
God's promise and power did not simply
stop two thousand years ago.
Miracles are still being performed and
show us - despite man's technological
advancement in computers, communications,
& medicine - its nothing compared to God's
glory and grace.
So, consider just a few miracles chronicled
from across the internet as evidence our
God is alive and well performing miracles
for those who believe and even non believers
seeking proof:
"A stillborn Israeli baby who was
pronounced dead by doctors came back
to life on Monday after spending hours
in a hospital refrigerator."
"We don't know how to explain this, so
when we don't know how to explain things
in the medical world we call it a miracle,
and this is probably what happened,"
hospital deputy director Moshe Daniel
said."
"A Minnesota man crashed through a
window in a hotel early Saturday and
plummeted 16 floors — but survived
when he was caught by a roof awning.
Police said his most serious injury was
a broken leg."
A West Virginia women who's heart
stop beating 3 times prompting the
doctors to declare her dead after 17
hours with no measureable brain
waves.
"Her skin had already started
hardening, her hands and toes
were curling up."
"There were really no signs she
had neurological functions,
Kevin Eggleston, an internist,
told ABC News."
After medical staff took the woman
off life support, she miraculously came
back to life.
"I said, 'God, just show me something,"
her nephew, Daniel Pence, told ABC
News."
And finally, how about the man who
survived a two-mile fall, after his
parachute and reserve failed to open.
"He suffered a collapsed lung and broken
ankle that may require further surgery,
but plans to jump again. He called the
incident a freak accident that has
changed the way he looks it life."
Although these are just a few of
literally hundreds more miracles
which can be found from the internet,
the central theme is live saving events
can not be explained off as mere coincidence
or "freak" happenings.
Let's face, after reading stories such as
the ones above, you have to be at least
a bit curious there's something much
larger and powerful out there than
ourselves.
And why do you suppose they happen
to some people and not others?
And why do they happen at all at a
seemingly frequent enough pace that
they get noticed and reported on the
news?
Well, my friends and non believers, I
would simply ask you to consider there's
answers waiting for you to those questions
in your Bible. One of those answers is
prefaced with there is someone very special
who's waiting to have a very personal relationship
with you.
That special someone who's loved you, known
you and your whole life even before you were
born.
That same special someone, who by a simple act
of faith, can open the door to a wonderful world
full of life and endless happiness.
That special someone is Jesus Christ, our Lord
and Savior.
Won't you consider those "miracles" you've read
about or maybe even experienced some yourself,
are simply examples of a living God who is getting
your attention for you to receive the ultimate
answer you've been seeking?
Perhaps, its time now for your very own miracle
of a life transformed by accepting Jesus Christ.
"Here I am!
I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in..."
Revelation 3:20 (NIV)
Amen.
