Miracles, Where?

Judges 6:13a
"Where are the miracles ...?"

Have you ever ask this question: "Where are the miracles that God has done in the past?" Story of the Angel of the Lord visits Gideon are found in chapter 6, verses 11-24. One part interest me: The angel appeared to Gideon and said, "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior!" (v.12).

Then Gideon said, "Sir, if the Lord is with us, why are we having so much troubles?" (v.13).

Have you ever question this to God? Is it wrong to ask God? No! He delights that you turn to Him. Like He said to Gideon of old, He is saying to us today, "Go with your strength ... and I am the One who is sending you." Whatever God has plan for you, you have His strength in you.

But Gideon had more questions and God was willing to deal with him until "Gideon understood he had been talking to the angel of the Lord. So Gideon cried out, "Lord God! I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face"" (6:22). Gideon was scared and he thought looking at the face of the angel of the Lord, God would punished him and also for asking Him so many questions.

But do you know what God said to Gideon? "Calm down! Don't be afraid! You will not die!" (6:23 ncv). Wow! This touched Gideon so much that he "built an altar there to worship the Lord and named it "The Lord Is Peace"" (6:24). The story goes on about Gideon trusted God for strength and Gideon did the job!

This inspires me to realize that God wants to perform a miracle for you. If you have question, ask Him. If you lack wisdom, ask Him (James 1:5). So let's expect a miracle today!

Song: Expect A Miracle!
Expect a miracle when you pray,
Expect a miracle every day,
When you expect it, God will find a way
To perform a miracle for you each day.

Ohhh, it feels good to trust God today, don't you?
