His Miracles and Wonders

All people — including Christians — go through moments of disbelief. We even use the common phrase, "I have to see it to believe it," to express our need to see and understand something tangibly. We may have negative thoughts that separate us from what God wants to do in our lives.

Throughout my work in ministry supporting children, I have heard countless heartbreaking stories where it feels impossible to help improve their situation. However, I receive many good news reports that counteract the negative. God shows me His power and miracles through projects supported by CBN. Every time I encounter a difficult situation that is difficult for my human reasoning, the Lord reminds me:

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will" (Romans 12:2CloseRomans 12:2 Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. OPEN VERSE IN BIBLE (nlt) NIV). 

Recently, I discovered a project was ending due to a lack of resources for the children in the program. These children received their only meal thanks to this project. Volunteers joined in prayer to cry out to the Lord for His provision.

God made a way, and His miracles and wonders were on display as Orphan's Promise was able to continue this program. It was there that God confirmed this teaching, 

"The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people" (Acts 5:12CloseActs 5:12 The apostles were performing many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers were meeting regularly at the Temple in the area known as Solomon's Colonnade. OPEN VERSE IN BIBLE (nlt) ). 

Think about how many miracles we see daily. For me, it's a miracle that God has chosen me as His daughter to be a blessing to others and thus be able to see and be a part of His wonders. For you, what miracles do you receive daily? 

Think of the blessings God has given you, the battles you have fought, and the miracle of waking up each morning to a new day and the opportunity to see and be a part of God's wonders. See that being alive is a miracle because God has a great purpose for you in His plans.

Father, thank you for loving me and setting me apart to be your child. Please help me see the wonders and miracles you pour out each day. In Jesus' name. Amen.
