Miracles and problems go hand in hand. Yet, sometimes we get so caught up in how we think that things should be that we miss the miracles right in front of us. Pastor Mark Batterson in his book The Grave Robber, points out that this is true of the Pharisees - they were so insistent that Jesus follow the laws as they knew them, that they missed the miracle right in front of them.
We miss the miracles of being in the right place at the right time. We reason that things just happen by accident, instead of seeing the hand of God. Or we get so caught up in our un-pleasant circumstances that we forget that God can redeem our circumstances by using us right where we are.
Other times we don't even ask for miracles anymore, because we think what we are asking for is just too big. Yet, Jesus healed the boy in today's scripture across miles of distances. What have you given up asking for? What do you need to recognize is right in front of you? What do you need this day?
