God is still the God of miracles now

  .

Martha did not believe that God could still give her a miracle when she needed one. This happened when her brother, Lazarus, died. By the time Jesus arrived, Lazarus had been dead for four days and she thought that the Lord was too late. She said, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died" (John 11:21). And even when Jesus said that Lazarus would rise again, she replied, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day" (John 11:24). Martha believed Jesus could perform miracles in the past and would do the same in the future, but she did not really believe He could give her a miracle when she needed it…right then. Does that sound familiar? Like many believers today, Martha lived wishing that the past could be changed and hoping that the future would be better, but she didn’t realize that Jesus—the Lord of the here and now, the great "I AM"—was there to meet her present need in a miraculous way. The Bible calls Him our "very present help" in time of need (Psalm 46:1)! Today, the Lord stands at the point of your need. What miracle do you need the great I AM to perform on your behalf? • Are you sick? Jesus is your healing (1 Peter 2:24).• Are you facing a situation of lack? Jesus is your unfailing supply (Philippians 4:19).• Are you in a place where no help seems available? Jesus is your very present help in time of trouble (Psalm 46:1).• Are you struggling to break free from a long-term addiction? Jesus has given you the victory (Romans 8:37).  Don’t look to yourself. Don’t focus on your circumstances. Whatever you need today, look to Jesus’ finished work and what He has purchased for you at the cross. The miracles in Scripture build our faith because we know that Hebrews 13:8 promises: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." If God did it before, He sure can do it again FOR YOU! What miracle are you in need of right now?   If you have a need in your life, remember that God is still in the miracle-working business. He loves you, and He is able and willing to do the miraculous in your life. "He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed miracles that cannot be counted." Job 5:9, NIV
