Another miracle is on the way

My life doesn't always feel miraculous. In fact, it can sometimes feel far more disastrous then miraculous.

I don't think I'm alone in that.

I had a bit of a commute to my training site this week. During my drive time, I found myself playing a song on repeat. The song is Another One, by Elevation Worship.

There are lyrics in this song that say:

Miracle after miracle
Open door after open door
Here it comes
So get ready for another one
'Cause another one is on the way

The song beautifully captures a long list of the miracles God performed in biblical times. The song begs us to ask, if God showed up then, won't he show up again?

The song lured me into some deep refection on the number of miracles that I've experienced in my life. And when I spend time truly naming and counting and exploring the magnitude of all of the miracles I've experienced, while acknowledging I'm leaving out a few thousand of them, it gets harder to see my life as disastrous.

And it gets even harder to deny that another miracle is on the way.

Life can get pretty hard when we cling so tightly to what feels like a disaster right now that we lose sight of the miracle that is on the way.

Because another one IS on the way.

Please know that.

'Cause if He told the chains when to break
And they did
He will again
And if He told the bones, "Come alive"
And they did
He will again
And if He told the stone, "Roll away"
And it did
He will again

And if He told the grave, "Let him go"
And it did
He will again
And again, and again
And again, and again, and again

We can get buried in the tomb of our own hopelessness.

We can get to feeling like we've used up our last life, our last miracle. But we haven't.

Look back on your life and count all the times life felt like another one will never show up. And then another one did.

And be reminded, Another One is on the way.
