As we intentionally lift our eyes, we can allow Jesus to fill our hearts with hope and restore our faith in His good plan. Now is a better time than ever to expect a miracle! In a society that values science and reason above all, even as Christians, elevating our expectations and embracing the supernatural can seem like a stretch. Nevertheless, we serve a God who loves to break the rules! I preach on this often because I believe that miracles have the potential not only to impact our lives as individuals, but to display the glory of the Lord in a way that will draw many people to a saving knowledge of Him. 

Demonstrations of divine power have occurred since the dawn of Creation, and many were recorded in the Old Testament long before our Savior came to earth. Though they remained common when Jesus appeared, other rabbis besides Him could invoke a manifestation of Yahweh’s miraculous power. This is because faith is the fuel for miracles. Even today, cultivating a deep confidence in the omnipotence of Almighty God is the beginning of experiencing His wonder. The expectation that He will intervene in our daily lives opens the door to seeing Him do exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ever ask for or think!

My friend, now more than ever, the Lord wants to do a miracle in your life! If you believe that and own it as truth, your faith will grow larger and deeper, and your awe at the magnificence of His power will propel you to hold onto hope and cultivate unshakable confidence in His character. While the world around you has limitations, God’s power is limitless, and He invites you to cling tightly to the truth that nothing is impossible with Him.
