This
week in my New Testament class, we read about some of the miracles Christ
performed in his mortal ministry in Matthew 8-9 and Mark 5. In these chapters,
Christ heals a leper, heals a centurion’s servant, and calms a tempest as well
as many other miracles. Reading about these miracles caused me to reflect about
miracles and the Lord’s tender mercies that I’ve seen in my own life. I think
often times we define miracles as some huge and spectacular event, which is a
valid definition for some instances, but if we are constantly looking for these
types of miracles, we’ll miss the miracles of the everyday. As Marjorie P.
Hinckley said, “There are very few big and spectacular miracles in most of our
lives. But it is a quiet multitude of little miracles that makes life sweet and
adds to our testimonies.” There are
miracles all around us, all the time. We just need to have faith and open eyes
and an open heart to see them. As it says in Mormon 9:19 “And
if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles
and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not;
if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of
miracles.”
God is
an unchanging and if he was a God of miracles in the past, then he is a God of
miracles yesterday, today and forever.
