God has a plan for you, friend!

Publication date Nov 22, 2022

Let’s pray together.

Jesus, we will never forget all of the miracles you have done. The feeding of the 5000, walking on water, raising Lazarus from the dead, restoring the sight of the blind man, cleansing the ten men from leprosy and the resurrection of Jesus are all miracles that we remember today!!! You are our miracle-working God and we praise you and thank you for your faithfulness! Teach us to believe in you for MORE today!!  Amen.

Thank you for believing in miracles today!

My friend Katie is a miracle. A few years ago, Katie was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The doctors said that they would need to do surgery, and on the morning of the operation, Katie’s family and friends gathered to pray, hope and believe for her full recovery. The miracle of biblical community and love was so evident on the day of Katie’s surgery as people crowded the waiting room to pray for Katie and to support Katie’s husband Brian. The support was a miracle in itself!

We waited throughout the day as the surgery happened, and then we heard the results – Katie was going to be OK! The joy and elation were overwhelming! Little did we know that God was not done yet!

Katie recovered to the point where she got to return to her love of running and was even able to compete in a team race called 'The Ragnar'. After completing the race, Katie and her teammates went to a local beach to celebrate by feeding eagles!! Yes, you can do that where we live.

As the team fed these amazing birds a heart-breaking moment happened. A man, who lived on the beach, became very angry about something and opened fire on the group with a pellet gun.  Katie was struck in the head with one of the pellets.

Here is the miracle! What stopped the pellet from penetrating Katie’s skull and doing untold damage was one of the metal plates left behind after Katie’s first surgery!  

Every time I see Katie, I am reminded of God’s faithfulness and miracle-working power!!!

Deuteronomy 32:3-4 says: “I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.” (Deuteronomy 32:3-4, NIV) 

friend, the God you serve is GREAT! He is your Rock and his works are perfect. His ways are just and He does NO wrong!  

friend, if you are asking God for a miracle, know that everything He did for Katie, He can do for you. If you need a miracle today, ask!!! If you have grown weary in asking God for a miracle, start asking again. If you are struggling to believe that God has a plan....just remember Katie’s story! God knows every detail and his ways are perfect!!

I am believing with you for your miracle today!

You are a miracle!
