Do You Believe in Miracles?

Do you believe in miracles?

Do you believe in miracles. That one question can spark a controversial and sometimes heated conversation.

Some people will swear on the existence of their mothers grave that miracles are incidental occurrences. Miracles don't exist

Imagination?

Some will claim that miracles are figments of the imagination, or hogwash.

Others will contend that miracles occur every, day all around us.

Is there a higher power that steps in from time to time for the good of mankind?

Or are we all separate little individuals stranded on this earth?

Are we left alone with the task of figuring out life, only to die?

 Doesn't matter what Mr. so and so thinks. The only thing that matters is what you believe.

Greater Power?

Do you allow your imagination to wander with the possibility that there is a higher power? Someone , something far greater than we could ever begin to imagine.

 So back to trivial matter of miracles.

 So, what is a miracle?

 Wikipedia describes A miracle as an event not ascribable to human power or the laws of nature and consequently attributed to a supernatural especially divine agency.

Not ascribable to human power. whoa, what does that mean? 

Some will proclaim that childbirth is not a miracle especially now that we have the ability to clone and produce life.

But are we producing life? Or are we producing life from an already existing form.

Consider the fact that 2 human eggs are connected in the womb and 9 months later, give or take a few days, a new life is brought into this world. fully formed, with a mind of its own embarking on a new journey.

Just chance? Evolution? Hmm

Technology, Man made?

Let's consider another situation. One that we have become so accustomed to and take for granted every day.

Technology. the great discovery of mankind. Or is it?

Have you ever stopped for a minute and thought about technology as we know it.

pieces of information flying through thin air into our smart phones or lap tops. Every day occurrence. 

No big deal, right? Or is it?  What or Who makes all of this possible?

Almighty Man

Man puts himself in the position of the almighty. 

Truth is, way back when, at the beginning of time, there was a thought that brought everything into existence.

If your looking for miracles, take a second and look up to the heavens. you will see a universe so complex and amazing. 

Did this all happen by chance? What enables all the millions of stars and planets to float around up there in space and be in the exact place and order they need to be?

How did the sun just happen to be in the perfect position. Scientists say that if the sun were just a degree off we would either be burnt to toast or freeze dried in a second. Imagine that.

We have apps for everything imaginable. How bout and app to control the universe and keep every planet exactly where it is supposed to be.  Another Hmm

Is there a God? 

Who designed the human body? 

Who placed each and every planet or star in just the perfect place? 

What makes technology possible? 

Think about this

Here's one to think about. The human brain is far greater than any piece of equipment on this earth.

Where did it come from? 

Did it just happen into existence? 

Or was it formed by a being or entity far greater than we could ever imagine.

So, do miracles exist? Think about it. And while you're thinking, consider how awesome and complex the brain is, that you are thinking with.

Above All

We humans, at times think we are above all. We toil for years to create all the marvelous inventions that make life great and easier. We continuously pat ourselves on the back for the advances we have made. 

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Try that one some time. And let me know how you make out.

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." (Luke 18:16-17
