Talk Therapy: Expect Miracles
Episode description
This month we aren’t in a specific series. Instead, I feel the Lord directing me to share what He puts on my heart for the week. Also known as "a word in due season." Today’s word is “expect a miracle.”
Here's the Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary definition of a miracle:
"The definition of miracle in the Bible, then, is a literary definition: an extraordinary occurrence, attributable to God’s hand (which at times disrupts the order of creation), and which leaves a marked impression in the text; the criteria for determining what is to be considered a miracle are literary in character."
I am hungry to see miracles and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
This week, try these two prayer prompts:
God, open my eyes to miracles all around me. (Consider keeping a “miracle journal.”)
God, how can I play a part in a miracle that You want to do in someone else’s life? Open my eyes to people around me who are praying for a miracle.
In most miracles, both man and God take part in the performance of the miracle such as in the plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7–11) or in bringing forth water from a rock (Exod 17:1–7). God wants to partner with us to perform miracles, He's just waiting for us to say yes. God blesses obedience.
