Friday Miracles All Around Me

Today’s message was written by guest pastor, Rev. Hunter Camp.

Some time ago, I was visiting one of my church members. She was recovering at home after a brief stay at the hospital. I was visiting with her and she said to me, “Hunter, God is always with me. There are miracles around me and in me. If it weren’t for the Lord, I don’t know what would have become of my life.” 

I suspect that each of us can say something similar, more or less. In our own ways, we, too, can look back upon our lives and pinpoint times when the Lord plucked us up from the bottom of the heap. 

Had the Lord not been on our side, the illness, the alcohol, the bad relationship, the tragedy would have overwhelmed us. Had the Lord not been on our side, the depression, anxiety, or financial worries would have engulfed us. That is the truth of our lives.

Let us pray: Gracious God, thank you for calling us your sons and your daughters. Thank you for showing us your character in Jesus. Help us to follow where he leads. Help us to rely upon you at all times, and not just during the crises of our lives. Amen.
