The Making of a Miracle Part 1

The Making of a Miracle

I. Controlling the jet stream…far fetched.

By faith I see a miracle…

Psalm 40:5 ESV

You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.

II. What is a miracle (Ps 40:5 You have multiplied…..)(Heaschel - No place in Torah if all his life is not a miracle; no natural course of events; starry heavens above and moral law within; life and law giver)

- Not a sudden event

- Not a wish come true

- The goodness of God

- A response; a choice; a change

III. What miracles are in your life

Psalm 17:15 ESV

As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.

(Ps 17:15 As for me….)

- A breath; a relationship; salvation

- Reflected in Gratitude (One Leper was grateful; 10 were healed but one was changed; only one really experienced the miracle of Messiah.)

- What miracles can God do through you in another’s life? (ahavah אַהֲבָה. God’s love is the verb le-eho’v לֶאֱהוֹב.)

Isaiah 26:3 ESV

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

IV. Why are miracles in your life (Isa 26:3 You keep him…) Everyday is a miracle to the one who trusts I. The Lord.

- In everything he sees Mercy; Grace; Christ

Jeremiah 17:14 ESV

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.

Jer 17:14 The miracles have already been made by the miracle Maker. You just have to recognize and embrace them.

The Miracle Maker has already made you a miracle by His redeeming power and glory.
