TEACHING SERIES: Closer Than You Know
TITLE: Longing for the miracle
BY: Naomi Woodruff
DATE: Sunday 11 August 2024
BIBLE PASSAGES: Exodus 3:8-10
EXCERPT:
So often, we look for the spectacular. We long for God to do amazing miracles, that calm our doubts and help us believe. But what if miracles are sometimes more mundane than that? God’s people were looking for a miracle. No doubt Moses was, too! But what he didn’t bargain for was that he might end up being the miracle. It when we look back through our lives, we see God’s fingerprints. And then we begin to see his plan for our lives.
“Every human being has a great, yet often unknown gift: to care, to be compassionate, to become present to the other, to listen, to hear and receive…If that gift would be set free and made available, miracles could take place.”
(Henri Nouwen)
