12-04-07 Our miracle -- Luke 1:37
We show people how to experience God's love. Out of that encounter flows everything good – healing, growth, obedience, sacrifice, mission. As you plan your year-end giving, remember that a gift to Dwight Clough Ministries Inc. empowers us to help people on every continent to experience God's love, sometimes for the very first time. DetailsFor nothing is impossible with God. -- Luke 1:37
I don't know if Zechariah and Elizabeth tried getting their miracle their way or not. By the time Gabriel showed up in the temple, Zechariah's faith had worn thin. It sounds like he had given up.
But God hadn't given up. How long had God planned the miraculous birth of John the Baptist? Let me suggest it was planned from the beginning of time.Our impossibilities of grief, of betrayal, of lack, of pain, of need -- none of these have escaped God's notice. His solution -- our miracle -- is already on the books.
When our miracle shows up, we make some discoveries, just like Zechariah did: God's plans are bigger than ours. God hasn't forgotten, and He hasn't stopped caring. What God does for us isn't just for us alone. It has a ripple effect that will touch people all over the world.
Be encouraged!
Dwight
