Faith without supernatural “miracles” is embracing reality. Faith demanding supernatural “miracles” is arrogance.I choose to see miracles in every bright and beautiful thing this world has to offer. I choose to have that kind of faith.
I love your insightful wisdom, Peter! Bless you for expressing it so wonderfully.
“ Faith without supernatural “miracles” is embracing reality. Faith demanding supernatural “miracles” is arrogance.” Yes, “expect” and “allow” goodness from God - but you can’t “demand” it. Trust that God will provide, possibly in ways that you cannot even see yet, but to demand anything from God is arrogance and distrust. If you have faith in God, He will work things out in His own way, in accordance with His unfolding of time and events, and in keeping with His love for His creation. It is our earthly job to follow His teachings, and then just allow God to work it out, whether in ordinary pathways or through miracles.
If our faith is true, we will understand that the world will always unfold however God wills. Only in that rare circumstance where our will, our desire, aligns with His will can our will even have the appearance of being done.
All the universe, and all that happens within, come from God. That makes every good thing that happens, every generous act by men, every good and heroic deed, every compassionate moment between a neighbor and a total stranger, a miracle that comes from God.
