Subject: Are miracles for today? |
Bible Note: That truly is wonderful news for the woman and her family. While we can't be sure how much of her recovery is due to God's intervention, medical treatment or her own body systems, there is a danger in calling such wonderful news a miracle. This is always highlighted for me when there occurs a tragedy affecting numerous people, but one or a few survive. When these credit God with their miraculous survival, they unwittingly are saying to the families and friends of the deceased and injured: God did not bless you like he did me. Perhaps this woman will have some vital importance to the final ourworkings of God's purpose that will explain why she was cured while countless die each day. |
