Day 12 - Miracles

Today’s Scripture

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.”

—Acts 10:38 (NIV)

“And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever He chose.”

—Hebrews 2:4 (NLT)

Reflect on the Word

Jesus always demonstrated His kindness and care for the countless broken and hurting. That same love and compassion that flowed from the heart and hands of Jesus continues to cover the earth today. No matter what the need, Jesus is willing and waiting to be involved. He is never too busy running the universe that He won’t immediately flood your life with His presence and touch. Anyone who reaches toward heaven will find peace, power and sometimes unexplainable joy, even during some of the greatest trials in life.

People have personally witnessed blind eyes, deaf ears and everything in between being miraculously touched by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is and will always be the God who loves bringing life to His people. Whatever you might be facing, trust that the same Jesus who cared for those hungry, hurting, bound, infirmed and hopeless will be the answer and bring calm to every storm in life.

Prayer + Contemplation

1___ Look back through the scriptures and remember how Jesus never failed to show His love and care for any that had need. Remember that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Heb. 13:8, NIV). Jesus is, and always will be, Lord over every situation or circumstance in this life.

2___ Pray for your own faith level to rise and believe that Jesus, in the same way as when He walked this earth, will work miracles in your life and the lives of those around you. As a first step, pray as the early believers did when they asked the Lord, “Increase our faith” (Luke 17:5, NKJV).

3___ Take a moment today to bring needs before the Lord that seem unfixable. They may be your own, a hurting family member’s or a friend’s. Begin a journey of believing that the same Jesus who walked above the raging seas can meet you where and when a miracle is needed.
