Have you ever faced what you considered an impossible

situation? Do miracles really happen and if they do,

who determines whether I get one or not? Is a miracle

simply something that we cannot explain or supernatural?

The Scripture tells us that Moses and his people in

Egypt were placed in an impossible situation of their

workload to make bricks. God had pity on them and

intervened. He performed certain miraculous signs

and wonders at the hand of Moses. The wizards of

the Pharoah were able to duplicate many of the signs,

but the God of Moses proved the superiority of His

miraculous power.

Jesus tells us there were many lepers in Israel, but

only Naaman was healed. Even though a foreigner and

enemy of Israel, Naaman found faith to believe the

God of Elisha had the power to heal him. It was not

personal favortism to heal him, but by God's wise

appointment that God miraculously healed Naaman's

leprosy through Elisha.(Luke 4:27)

The writer of Hebrews tells us it is impossible to

please God without faith. Paul tells us it is not

possible for God to lie. An angel told Mary when

she was with child that nothing was impossible for

God. Jesus told His disciples that with man things

that are impossible, are possible with God. He also

stated that if you have the faith of a mustard seed,

nothing will be impossible for you.

Let us remember who is the God that makes all things

possible. God's name is Jehová, or Yahweh. Jehová is

the Lord of miracles. He alone has the power to

manage our life. He alone was mortified by a death

that had no power. He used His power to overcome

sin and death for us. Lift your hands to Him and

Praise Him today for the power and purpose of His

miracles today!
