I've been trusting God for something specific in my life. He has given me promises, scriptures and prophetic word, but in my impatient nature I have "off-days". Doubting myself. It was one of those days and I pleaded with God to please give me a sign. Somehow and for some strange unexplainable reason, I expected a big, flashing neon sign! On my way to work I turn the volume up in the car, something caught my ear... Shane & Shane sings the following: "Today I'm asking for a miracle; Anything God got, big or small. I don't need to see the cancer go away, all I need to know is it's gonna be okay." At that moment I repeated those words and carried it up to God as a prayer.
As my day got busier, I've put it out of mind. Late afternoon a friend phones with some disturbing news: He thinks his laptop was stolen. The last he remembered having it was while attending a meeting at a coffee shop and was on his way back to hear if it's maybe, just maybe, still there. I put the phone down and silently asked God to please let it not be stolen. I carried on, having this in the back of my mind. About 10 minutes later he phones: It is not at the coffee shop and no one there has seen it. It's gone! Aloud I called to God: "Please Father, send Your angels to return his property if this is not within your will!" 5 Minutes, another call from my friend: You wouldn't believe it, I'm on my way back to the coffee shop. The manager phoned me, he has my laptop." One of the cleaners found it outside in the parking area and brought it to him to try and find the owner. Intact, nothing missing! In that moment I was in such awe of Gods power and His love for us. When we ask Him according to His will, He will do it. That's what He promises in His word! 1 John5:14 "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us."
Though to some this is just a nice story to read, but that day, it was the miracle I asked God for. Anything God got, big or small. In that moment, when I realized God did this because we prayed, I knew it was gonna be okay. Insecurity disappeared and my trust made stronger. This brought my hope back from the level I pushed it down to. My God can do ANYTHING! And He does on a daily basis. I didn't need the flashing neon sign. I didn't need to see a BIG miracle. (For a while I forgot to see Gods hand in the small things of life, I was wrong!) I needed to know that He is God. And He is there. And He listens, even if I think not.
Today, ask God for a miracle...
Shalom Shalom,
