WHEN MIRACLES CONNECT

Luke 1:36 NLT What’s more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she conceived a son and is now in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.

John the Baptist was Elizabeth’s miracle baby and as you read you realise her miracle was also connected to Mary’s miracle of the virgin birth. God always has a plan and sometimes one person’s miracle is connected  to someone else's miracle at the same time!😊

Both those ladies met up and exchanged their ‘impossible’ stories and it’s good when we share our testimonies with each other because they encourage others to know their miracle is on the way as well. We may have been told something is impossible but be encouraged today because what God does for one He will do for others and the end of our story is not what man says, but what God says!😊

We know our lives interlink with others, which is why we’re all called to pray for one another because a prayer of a righteous person achieves a lot! 

When someone comes into agreement with God’s promises, and believes for a miracle then God’s impossible is released into our lives and the lives of those around us. God’s miracles bring blessings, not just for the moment, but for years to come. They can change history, they can light up our story.

When God wants to do something, or birth something in our lives or in our understanding, we can choose to be a people who say, ‘I believe You Lord. Let it happen to me just as You say.” We can bring in our miracle by believing God’s promises and it may well be connected to someone else to receive theirs too. What a thought!

God hasn’t changed, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever and He is still releasing miracles to those who will believe and receive them. Let’s be miracle receivers today and maybe trigger someone else’s miracle when we do.😊 In Jesus name. Amen.

YOUR STORY

Psalm 139:16 NLT You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

I read this quote the other day, “Today is part of your story. Make it beautiful.”

God has written all the days of our lives in His book but we have our part to play by following His direction, in asking that we be at the right place at the right time, and what He wants for us. We can choose to go our own way and try to write our own story, but God’s story will be so much better than anything we can come up with, and His story will carry His blessing on it.😊

Do we sometimes breeze into things and forget to commit them to Him first, or ask for His help, and then wonder why things go wrong or we feel frustrated or disgruntled!?

We know He speaks to us in a still small voice but if everything around is pressing for our attention we’ll find it difficult to hear Him. It’s why Jesus withdrew to be alone with His Father before the day began. He knew all about pressure but He wanted God’s plan for His day not His own and we all know what wonderful results He had!😊

We all realise some days are more of a challenge than others, but if we’ll include God in each moment He can still make it beautiful just because He is in it with us, to help us see the positives and not dwell on the negatives, to be grateful for what we have and not complain about our have nots!

There is always beauty to be found in the little moments; the text from a friend, the sparrows singing in the hedgerow, the sunlight on raindrops. So let’s ask God to help us recognise them and enjoy them.😊

Today is part of our story so why not ask God to help you see the blessings and beauty in it, to make your story beautiful today, for His glory? He’s just waiting to be asked.😊 Amen.
