Sometimes God Gives Miracles And Sometimes God Works Miracles

You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. Psalm 77:14 

  

  I had been suffering for months with a skin ulcer that would not heal. I was watching the 700 Club and Pat Robertson had a word of knowledge about a skin ulcer being healed. I was convinced that word was for me. I expected that when I removed my bandage the wound would be gone, but it wasn’t. 

  Sometimes God, in His kindness, gives us miraculous healing that comes immediately. At other times God works out a slower healing that takes time and patience. In both cases those are miracles given by God. 

  My skin ulcer was ultimately healed by having a major operation dealing with the underlying problem. I consider that was a miracle and answer to prayer even though it took more time. 

  God has His own timing and purposes for our lives. He knows when we need immediate help and relief, and I have experienced His intervention and seen how quickly He can turn things around. Indeed, I have often thought we need a Name for God that means: The God who turns things around. I have seen Him do that so often for myself and others. 

  Yet we often need patience and perseverance to receive God’s miracles and blessings.  

  Whether your miracle comes quickly, or takes longer than you want, trust God for your miracle, and be patient for His timing for your healing. 

  Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for miracles, for blessings that come quickly, and for those that take time. Blessed be Your Name forever! Amen.
