I really do mean this title. I keep seeing miracles, but when people don't recognize God's working in their lives... it may not continue. It seems that sometimes people can get so fixed in a mindset of misery that when God does a miracle, they can think it was just a fluke and go back to their same ways of thinking. The problem with that is, when your wife does something out of the ordinary and you don't thank God for it and have a grateful heart about it, she thinks it didn't matter to you and doesn't do that, or anything more, again. Or, if your husband finally does some movement in the direction you've desperately prayed for him to go, but you don't believe it's really real, he decides it doesn't really matter to you so he decides he won't do that (very vulnerable) thing again. We have to recognize God's miracle, let go of the past, trust His hand in our lives and live like He has done the work. Ten lepers were healed. Jesus didn't call it faith that they were healed. He called it faith when the one leper came back and praised God for the healing. I don't think it was that they weren't grateful. I think they doubted the miracle. Maybe it was a fluke. Maybe it would have happened anyway. Maybe it won't last. And the problem is, from the story, Jesus only said, "Your faith has made you well," to the one who praised God for the miracle. Sadly, I don't know if those other 9 got to keep their miracle... I encourage you to recognize God's hand in your life. Call it a miracle. Praise God for it and witness Him continuing to work in your life.
