Looking for a Miracle?

Here's a thought lifted from You Can Experience a Miracle... an article on Donna Partow's website:

"Several years ago, on New Year’s Eve, our pastor urged us to bow our heads and ask God for a mighty miracle in the coming year. Do you know what God spoke to my heart that late December evening? He said, 'Donna, if you really want to see a mighty miracle in your life, learn to do smaller things with greater faithfulness.' Smaller things with greater faithfulness. That’s where the real power... comes from."

We all know this on some level, right? It's a matter of consistently doing those things which are proven to have a positive consequence. Making intelligent choices about food. Drinking plenty of water. Getting the body moving. Reading God's Word. Ample and regular sleep. Picking up after oneself. Giving others the benefit of the doubt. Reading with one's children at bedtime. Meditating. Regular deposits in the savings account. Counting one's blessings. All these things, and many more, when done consistently produce dramatic results.

I'm banking on the fact that if I follow through daily on those resolutions I made January 1st, I'll eventually see some pretty impressive results myself. I don't have to do them perfectly, just consistently.

I'm looking for a miracle in 2006.

[I recommend Donna's Bible study Becoming a Vessel God Can Use -- a friend and I are currently studying it together.]
