Maybe you've been thinking that you don't see any miracles at all in your life. Well, why do you suppose you aren't experiencing miracles in your life?

Perhaps it's because you don't recognize them when you see them. Ask God to make you sensitive and appreciative of the miracles he is performing for you. But if you're not seeing miracles in your life, perhaps it's because you have the grasshopper disease. You remember that, don't you? When the twelve spies went to check out the miracle land that God had provided for them, ten of them reported back that even though the land was all they'd ever dreamed of and more, there was no way it would be the land for God's people. Why? Because all the people they saw there were of great size. They said, 'We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.'

Grasshoppers! God had promised them this land, but their focus was on themselves, and when they looked at themselves, they saw grasshoppers. They saw only the impossibilities.

The disciples did the same thing when Jesus asked them to feed the 5000. They looked at how much money it would cost, and said it couldn't be done. They never even considered that Jesus could provide a miracle to feed the crowd. They looked at the impossibilities instead of looking for a miracle.

As I meditated on these Scriptures, I said to myself, 'Mary, how often you focus on your impossibilities, instead of looking for and expecting God's miracle in your life.' How about you?

When asked what she wanted on her tombstone as an epithet, Henrietta Mears said, 'Put on it, 'If only I had trusted him more.'' Isn't it true that we limit God's miracles in our lives because we don't have enough trust in our God to ask for them or to expect them.

Look for some miracles today. He wants to bless you, but you must come to him in faith, believing that he can meet your need, and then allow him to do it in his way.
