I believe in Miracles

Miracles are fantastic to read about when they happened to other people a long time ago, but, don’t you love it when God does a miracle for you unexpectedly in your own life.  When our four children were young we were travelling back from a holiday at night by car and were on the last leg of our 13 hour journey, four children sleeping peacefully in back and our alternator decided to die, leaving us with no head lights, it was one o'clock in the morning.  We pulled in at the small roadside garage still an hour and a half from the Perth City outskirts.  My husband got talking to the driver of the only other car in the place and he agreed to let us follow him down to Midland where we would then have to go our own way, to wherever we lived in the metro area.

We were stunned by what happened next and reminded of what an awesome God we serve, when the two men continued to talk and we discovered that out of the one and a half million people who live in the City of Perth, and of all the suburbs and of all the streets he could have lived , God had sent us a Good Samaritan, who lived a couple of hundred metres from where we did, in the same suburb of Kelmscott.

Psalm 91;14  The Lord says “I will rescue those who love me, I will protect those who trust in my name.” (LB) 

God seldom rescues us in a way we were expecting, but, He does promise to rescue those who love Him.   When the Israelites were backed up against the Red Sea with the Egyptian army pounding down on them with their chariots and horses, Ps 77 (LB) says God made a path for them no one knew was there, parting the waters for them to cross to safety. 

Remember, all things are possible with God (Matt 19:26), expect great things from Him, no matter what it is you need rescuing from in your life, He will never leave you or forsake you (Heb 13:5).  Expect that He will make a path for you that you never knew was there.
