Witnessing Miracles in Everyday Life: Proof of the Prophets' Words

Belief in miracles is often seen as a vestige of the past, a relic of a simpler time when faith was considered a tangible force. However, as I recount my personal experiences, I find that miracles are not only real but occur in our modern, fast-paced lives as well.

Timely Miracles

A miracle, to me, is not just an extraordinary event, but an event that occurs at the right time, as if orchestrated by a divine hand. Just recently, I had a vivid example of this. I was feeling prompted by prayer to give some money to a friend. Ten minutes after I made the call, my friend and his wife were praying for their lack to be met. This event, in itself, might not seem miraculous, but the timing was so precise that it felt like a divine answer. This experience reinforced my belief in the power of prayer and the manifestation of miracles through it.

The Interplay of Faith and Science

I have experienced many other miracles which, in the context of daily living, became evidence to support the existence of the divine. These events were sometimes so subtle, that they were often overlooked but, upon reflection, they stood out as extraordinary. Just because an event may not be outrightly seen as miraculous doesn't mean it isn't one. The timing and the context often define it.

Take the case of David Rossiter, for instance. He sought answers to the question of life after death. While we may not all have the experience of being dead for a moment, we can still find meanings and evidences of the miraculous in our lives. Personal accounts like his provide insights and can inspire faith in those who doubt.

Miracles in Relatively Everyday Scenarios

Often, miracles are not just the grand events like miracles reported in the Bible or in religious texts. They can be as simple as seeing life's intricate beauty, or they can be vital moments that change the course of our lives.

Take my story of my second daughter, who was critically ill with the flu during a severe ice storm. I couldn't transport her to a hospital, and the road to our house was blocked. The ability of an artifact to function in such conditions was no small feat, let alone the arrival of two elderly people who walked two miles through the icy conditions to pray over her. Anointed with oil and blessed by these elders, my daughter's temperature began to normalize. If they hadn't arrived when they did, the outcome could have been much more dire.

Conclusion

In a world where we often look for technological advancements or scientific explanations for everything, it's easy to dismiss the miraculous. However, personal experiences of miracles remind us that there is more to life than meets the eye. Whether they are timely financial windfalls, sudden recoveries from illnesses, or the unexpected arrival of help in dire situations, miracles are a reminder of the power of faith and prayer.

These experiences are not isolated incidents but a weave of lived moments that remind us of the miraculous nature of life. And in this regard, the words of the prophets ring true: miracles do happen, and they happen more often than we might think.
