MIRACLES

Have you ever seen a miracle? (Sorry, the ’69 Cubs do not qualify, though finding a legal on-street parking space near Wrigley Field does come close).

Over the years I’ve been privileged to experience various interruptions of God’s laws, laws interrupted by virtue of His sovereignty, not by any special skill I have.

When you lay hands on broken kneecaps and fingers, and pray in Jesus’ authority, and see the healing occur before your very eyes, it tends to adjust your theology.

Whereas it’s exciting to witness such things, the greatest peace does not come through the exercising of God’s power.  Such peace comes instead through observing His knowledge in action—doing whatever it takes—as long as it takes—so that His perfect will is accomplished for all.

King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 63

 1O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
 2To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
 3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
 4Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
 5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
 6When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
 7Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
 8My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
 9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
 10They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
 11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
