Do You Believe In God's Miracles?

How wonderful it is to be able to trust in God. How wonderful He is about supplying the smallest and sometimes "silliest" wants and needs.




On a serious note, one day I was taking a walk around here. You don't have to walk far to be out in deserted areas. To get to the only hill in the area you are out in the "middle of nowhere".. I like that walk because it gives me more of a work out.



One day, I was on a road behind where I live walking and singing Scripture choruses. A car coming from the other direction stopped and the lady inside asked me if I knew the people in that car. I turned around and looked and said "No". She said "they seem to be following you and I am concerned". The other car pulled out around us and went on its way. I thanked her for her concern and we each went on about our own way. I turned around to wave a thanks to her but the car was not there. I was close to the top of the hill so could see quite a way in the direction she went There were no side roads where she could have turned. Was it an angel coming to rescue me from a bad situation? I believe so.



Another day, I was not feeling well at all and all I really wanted was a Coca-cola. There is no one around here to call on to get one so I just went on wanting. That is, until I just had to take that trash bag to the dumpster. Sick or not, I could not stand the smell of it one more minute. Upon walking up to it, I saw a coke sitting on one of the storage units that are next to the dumpster. An answer from God? I don't know. I thought about leaving it there as it was not mine. But, then I came to my senses. LOL I took it home and put it over ice. Oh, it tasted so good. I never found out where it came from. I really think it was a "God thing." Don't you?



Years ago, when I lived in the city, I wanted some change to get on a city bus. For some reason I had no cash on hand. I had taken my wallet and purse apart looking for change. There was none. Now, I had money in the bank but that was eight miles away. Without a car, that is a bit of a problem. I hoped maybe I would know the bus driver and he would let me pay him later. That would have worked at one time but the bus company had grown so much. I did not know if I would get a bus driver that I knew. So, I put that idea on hold.



For some reason, I looked in my wallet again. There it was in plain sight - enough money for the bus. Had I missed it? Had God not let me see it? Anyway, it was my miracle for that day. I took the next bus to the bank.



Do you believe in miracles from God? I hope so. I sure do. It makes life so much richer.
