This week as the leaves turned red and orange and the world began to transition from summer to fall, I began to ponder about what kind of changes I want to make in my life and what is necessary for my spirit to turn into something more beautiful. While reading in Matthew I stumbled across a verse that really struck me.
Matthew 8:31 reads,
"So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine."
These devils were so anxious to have a body that they begged Christ to let them enter into even the most thoughtless and dirty of creatures to accomplish this goal. This made me reflect on how many times I have complained or have heard others complain about the body that they have been given and the abilities that they possess. God does not make mistakes. Each one of us was so thoughtfully created and designed to accomplish certain tasks while on the Earth, and as we are grateful for what we have been given, we will more fully be able to tap into the divine potential that we possess. I think that many times we don't really what a miracle we are.
This stage of life that we are in can be confusing because there are so many questions and so much is left up in the air. What we do now can determine the course of the rest of our lives so I think many times through all the unsurety it is hard to recognize our strengths and all that we are capable of.
As I read in the Bible Dictionary about Miracles, I realize that each one of us is a miracle and God never ceases to be a God of miracles, so if we keep pressing forward without deviating off the course and relying on God's will we can have complete confidence and trust in God that he will make us all that he imagined we would be.
BD Miracles:
"Miracles are a part of the gosepel of Jesus Christ. If miracles cease it is because faith has ceased."
