Miracles Today!

March 4

Sometimes we believe, falsely, that the Lord does not do mighty works among us anymore. We relegate His miracles, if we believe them at all, to the realm of the past. Some Christians assert that miracles were necessary for the establishing of Christ’s Church, but they are no longer needed.

Of course, we have enough evidence from the Word to trust in His name and even if we never see a miracle, the miracle of our salvation should be sufficient to keep us firm in our faith, but that’s not how HE wants it to be. He declares Himself to be “the same yesterday, today, and forever” Hebrews 13:8.

That means He still performs miracles today! The wonders He did in the past should serve to remind us of His never-changing faithfulness to demonstrate His mighty power in the behalf of His people at the moment of their need. In Joshua 4:23, the children of Israel were reminded, “The Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you…just as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea.” He knew they needed a reminder of His faithfulness, so He supplied it!

When we are facing circumstances beyond our ability to overcome, when we are feeling helpless, when we appear to be ‘cornered’ by a great foe against whom we have no strength, it is then that we must reflect upon the wonders our miracle-working God has performed in the behalf of His people in the past. When the knowledge of His strength and faithfulness sink in, we’ll expect the same in our behalf, in our circumstances—today!
