Pay attention to this, Job. Stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God! Do you know how God controls the storm and causes the lighting to flash from his clouds?
Job37:14-15 (NLT)
MIRACLES AROUND YOU
A poem and essay by ILMA
Pay attention to what surrounds you
Stop and gaze at the sky so blue
Be amazed at the nature that you behold
God considers you a gem that will soon unfold.
Isn’t it a miracle to watch your child born?
You gaze at that baby that slowly had formed
What about those flowers that slowly bloom in spring?
Be astounded by the birds that are harmoniously singing!

Miracle is defined as a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences. How often have you witnessed a miracle in your life? Many people miss so many miracles because they think they are big events. They get so used to thinking that it is a big, spectacular occurrence. Many of us forget and take for granted the nature around us. Because of our busyness, we fail to watch a flower bloom or even smell it. We forget to watch the clouds pass by against the blue skies. We scold our kids and forget that first time we laid eyes on them when they were born. We forget to thank the Lord that he always manages to make things work for our good. Watch miracles around you.
