- Every miracle begins with a problem. If you don't have a problem, you don't need a miracle.
- The starting point is to recognize there is a problem.
- write down one problem in your life where you'd like to see a miracle. Then pray and tell God about this problem.
(Rick Warren Daily Devotion)
- One problem is having time to.
manage money. I feel overwhelmed
with the amount of responsibility I
have that the basic needs, food,
finance, and clothing get neglected.
I would like to see a miracle within
me of wisdom to truly balance the
basic needs. I know I can do it, I just
need to do it; with Gods help.
Lord, I praise you for waking me up this morning and allowing me to see another day! I thank you for grace! I thank you for the ability to dream and the ability to know you and make you known. You are wonderful!!!! Husband daddy, I need a miracle of wisdom within me to help assist my decision making. To be a woman of integrity by sticking to my word. Abba, please see my heart and not my mistakes. May a door open with a job and everything work out for child care according to your will. I love you Lord! There is nothing and no one greater than you! I praise you. I pray this in Jesus wonderful name, amen.
S: Some of the stew was served to the men. But after they had eaten a bite or two they cried out, “Man of God, there’s poison in this stew!” So they would not eat it. Elisha said, “Bring me some flour.” Then he threw it into the pot and said, “Now it’s all right; go ahead and eat.” And then it did not harm them. (2 Kings 4:40-41 NLT)
One day a man from Baal-shalishah brought the man of God a sack of fresh grain and twenty loaves of barley bread made from the first grain of his harvest. Elisha said, “Give it to the people so they can eat.” “What?” his servant exclaimed. “Feed a hundred people with only this?” But Elisha repeated, “Give it to the people so they can eat, for this is what the LORD says: Everyone will eat, and there will even be some left over!” And when they gave it to the people, there was plenty for all and some left over, just as the LORD had promised. (2 Kings 4:42-44 NLT)
But his officers tried to reason with him and said, “Sir, if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply, ‘Go and wash and be cured!’” (2 Kings 5:13 NLT)
But Elisha asked him, “Don’t you realize that I was there in spirit when Naaman stepped down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to receive money and clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and cattle, and male and female servants? (2 Kings 5:26 NLT)
O: Wow! I love how God talks with me!!!! The first devotion talked about identifying the problem first in order to receive a miracle from God, than to pray and tell God. After doing so my next devotion was about several different miracles. The first problem was poison in the stew. Elisha takes some flour, pours it and stirs in the stew and it was alright to eat. Nothing harmed them. The second problem was a sack of grain and twenty loaves of bread to feed hundred of people. The Lord said everyone would eat and there will be leftovers. Elisha stood on the word Jesus said. There was plenty left over just as Jesus promised.
The next problem, in the next chapter of other devotion I read, was Naaman had leprosy. Naaman went to one prophet to be cured and the prophet tore his clothes declaring who am I to cure leprosy. Naaman went to Elisha who told him a simple way to be healed but he was too prideful to receive his simple healing. He denied the process he expected the process to be difficult. His officers said to him, If it were difficult you would do it but because it's simple you doubt.
A: My miracle is here!!!! However, my gift and call has been dabbled with poison. I need to add some substance to my gift and calling and stir it in. Than it will be alright and nothing can cause it any harm. I need to stand firm just on what Jesus has promised!!!! And I will touch more people with the little message I have to give. The process is simple. However, due to a hard life and everything currently going on being so difficult I don't accept the simplicity of what God is doing within me. I doubt the simple because it's no difficult.
P: What a phenomenal God you are!!!! You speak to me so clearly that I get distraught by trying to complicate things. I caused own problems yet you stand by awaiting a miracle for me first than by others. I understand, this is not the season to receive money from speaking but to receive the nuggets and treasures you are giving me. Wisdom will come with experience. I believe Char is wise and she considered me to be part those among her amazing being. I am grateful for your words oh Lord. Please be with me as you know the desires of my heart. I Jesus powerful name I pray, amen.
