The genuine realist, if he is an unbeliever, will always find strength and ability to disbelieve in the miraculous, and if he is confronted with a miracle as an irrefutable fact he would rather disbelieve his own senses than admit the fact. Faith does not…spring from the miracle, but the miracle from faith.”
–Fyodor Dostoevsky
God is in the business of miracles – including the amazing miracle of changing lives by transforming hearts and minds. And yet, we can refuse to believe in Him and His power, even if a miracle happens in front of our very eyes. The question is not whether a person can be shown a miracle large enough to overpower their lack of faith, but whether a person’s faith (even if it is as small as a mustard seed) will allow them to be open to experience God’s miracles.
May we have faith sufficient to see God’s hand move as he does amazing miracles all around us.
And in us.
What does God want to do in you today?
Will you be open to being transformed by the power of his miracle-working hands?
