While we are living in a day and age when the thought of miracles may seem like a foreign concept for many. As I thought about this this week, I thought about what it must have been for Mary to receive the miracle of Jesus Christ.
Often the story of the birth of Jesus is looked at as this blessed event (which it was) and never do we stop to think that Mary actually was given the promise, yet she had to wait eight months for her miracle to become a reality that was actually held in her hands.
Maybe you are saying that you've waited for more that nine months, so Mary has nothing on you.
Think about this!
Where was the true miracle in the story of Jesus. Was it in his birth, his life, his death, or his resurrection?
If Jesus had lived and died and not resurrected, would there still be a miracle worth talking about more then 2000 years later? If he had just died then we would all be in the same predicament we were in before he was born.
So Jesus died and was laid to rest in the grave. The signs of her miracle were fading quickly. Her promise. Her Son. Her Savior. All gone in one day and it all layed in a pile of death.
Please tell me if you 've ever felt that way. All you ever hoped for, laid in a pile of death. There was nothing more you could do because the hopes for a miracle have disappeared with the last trajedy.
Wait! Don't give up. On the third day the women went down to the grave. They went down to check on the body. This was the third day. What did they hope to find? Why were they so persistent? They knew the guards were there. GUESS WHAT?
Their miracle came on the third day! So maybe you felt like you gave birth to what seemed like a miracle. You thought you had groomed it to be what God intended it to be, however before you knew it, all of it was laying in a pile of death.
Dont give up. Your miracle can still be delivered. You see the miracle wasn't in the life and death of Jesus Christ. The truest miracle was in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Your miracle can be found in the pile of death. Keep going, keep seeking, keep asking God for the desires of your heart. Don't be anxious for anything but in everything let your request be known to God. Believe that God still delivers miracles to the righteaous.
Our God is still in the miracle making business!!!
