Miracles

The heroes of faith often built altars to remember their miraculous experiences with God and miracles they received from God.

I had such and experience yesterday and wanted to build an altar to God.

Yesterday, a brother and friend of mine invited me to go with him to a local church.  I normally go elsewhere, but I felt the Spirit tug.  So, we went and the sermon focused on us being conduits of giving to the kingdom, and being surrounded by the heroes of the faith cheering us on.  The sermon was good and seeing this brother's success through God in reaching many unchurched was very impressive.

So, we went to lunch and started talking about the pastor and his father who was also a pastor.  And, who walks in but that pastor's father.  We chatted and found out he isn't retired and he is recovering from some stuff that came upon him and he is helping the pastor whose sermon we just listened to.  In fact, things are going so well that the father and son are looking at starting another campus.  They are running things very lean and doing their best to reach the unreached.  It was exciting to see what God was doing.

It was also a miracle that we would just happen to be eating in the same place and get to share our hearts with these pastors.  I want to make sure that I share this miracle that God has done yesterday.

I believe the words of a very successful mentor of mine who shared that they write down miracles every day and as they do that more and more miracles become apparent.  Miracles are amazing things that only God could do that lead us closer to God.  Writing them down helps our faith.  Sharing them helps others' faith.

Be blessed,
