Joseph could not be concerned with such things now. Mary and the Baby about to be birthed required his assistance. In the midst of the frenzy, he realized that being needed was a gift from God. His faith swelled. In the chill of the evening, with cows, sheep, goats, and a donkey as witnesses, he delivered the...

Among her injuries, Shellie’s right ear had been stripped from her head. The emergency room doctors did not believe they could save the organ, so they tossed it into the garbage can. Upon receiving permission from the on-call physicians to help her, Dr. Bennett retrieved her ear from the medical waste. He understood that he was like the other doctors and could not make things work on his own, but he knew...

“I’m praying that you move here.” Shocked, I asked the friendly stranger to repeat her words. I had retired just a few weeks prior, at least on paper, and my little schnauzer and I were on...

The thunder rumbled; lightning flashed in the darkening atmosphere. Olaf believed that God could divert the storm, so that is what he asked his heavenly Father to do. When Olaf put forth his petition before Heaven, the storm...

All of us began to boot up our computers so we could accomplish the project list for the day. Michelle tried several times before expressing exasperation that hers remained silent and black. Even the software engineer in the house could not revive the equipment.

While any child is a marvel from God, Isaac was a stunning birth to parents who could physically no longer bear children; furthermore, he was a reflection of God’s power. God worked many miracles for Abraham along the way, but the real miracle was...

We have three terms in the development of the Christian life: justification, sanctification, and glorification. All three have been ambiguous, at least for me. “Justification” seems to happen in the moment. “Glorification” apparently happens when Jesus comes. “Sanctification,” which is becoming holy, seems impossible.

Famine in Kenya’s Samburu territory has been going on for nearly a year. No rain. People witness their livestock perishing directly in front of them. The cows slurp up mud from a few puddles here and there when they can be found just for the moisture. People walk

How many miracles went unclaimed in the Bible? Or through the centuries since? How many times have we made decisions independently of God and missed out on His miraculous power supplying the answers?

The miracles of the Bible happened because the people of God were in constant communion with Him. When they pressed an issue before His throne of grace, they knew they could count on God to do His part because they had done theirs. Grandma knew firsthand the miracles God would work because she had that kind of relationship with Him. The legacy she left her family was to...
