One of my favorite songs these days is Another One by Elevation Worship. These words speak to me:
Miracle after miracle Open door after open door Here it comes, so get ready for another one 'Cause if He told the sun when to rise and it did, He will again And if He told the storm to be still and it did, He will again And if He told the sea where to split and it did, He will again And if He told the walls when to fall and they did, He will again And 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 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 I suppose this song speaks to me so intensely because my faith in Jesus is buoyed by miracles. The miracles I've read about. The miracles Jesus has worked in my life. Because be sure, my life is nothing but miraculous. The Jesus who took this kid who struggled through his adolescence and placed him in the lives of kids struggling through their adolescence. That's a miracle. The Jesus who took this man who abused alcohol for 25 years and placed him in a position of trying to encourage people coping with life through all sorts of habits and hang-ups and addictions of their own. That's a miracle. The Jesus who took this man suffering through his own traumatic past and placed him in the lives of communities eager to learn about and heal from the implications of their traumatic pasts. That's a miracle. The Jesus who took this man who never wanted kids and gave him two of the most beautiful humans in the world who daily define a reason to live. That's a miracle. The Jesus who took a man who once debated living day in and day out and transformed him into a man who today only wants to define for others a reason to live. That is a living breathing miracle. You see, my belief in Jesus doesn't come down to wondering if Jesus can be a miracle worker in this life. Jesus has already answered that question. Again and again and again. So the only question I ever have about Jesus in my life is will he do it again. Well, looking back on my life, that's a pretty foolish question. Because I am left with no doubt, He will again.
