Recently, when space became available for me to participate in a program, I felt that it was a miracle from God. As I shared it with others, some said that openings came every day. Some said that someone was always leaving the program and making an opening available. The implication was that my chance to enter the program was nothing unusual, but was a common occurrence.
At first, I started to adopt this attitude about my blessing, but my spirit rose up and said, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of Lights...James 1:17. Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass...,” Psalm 37:5.
I believe with all my heart that the way into this program was paved for me by God. I believe I could have easily missed the opportunity by an hour, or by a day. I chose to reject the idea that my blessing is commonplace. I chose to continue to embrace the conviction that it is a special gift from God.
I believe that to allow my faith to flourish like this is to “...draw 'nigh to God and he will draw 'nigh to you...James 4:8,” to become deeply rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus, and to become more sensitive to the Holy Spirit. For me it keeps the door open for His power to work in me and through me for others.
If someone wants you to believe that your miracle is an everyday, common occurrence, cast that attitude down as “…a high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God..,.” II Corinthians 10:5, the knowledge of what you know God has done for you.
