Miracles
I'm still nibbling on God's Word in John where the disciples haven't grasped why Jesus, the Son of God, would ask to wash their feet and also tell them he has to go away. These men who have seen Jesus perform miracles of many kinds are still not adequately prepared to welcome the crucifixion. He can just save himself, right? This scenario wasn't in his initial "follow me, I am the Messiah" speech.

"We tend to view a miracle as a divine deposit on more miracles. We like our miracles to be perpetual, thank you. Once raised, we want Lazarus to live forever, but he cannot. So, we are bewildered when the recipient of the miracle still dies. It seems to me that miracles are less of a promise for tomorrow and more of a manifestation of God's love and power for today.
Today God provides bread. Today God calms the storm.
Tomorrow's needs and storms cannot void the reality of today's miracles anymore than today's miracles can void the potential of tomorrows needs and storms."
Her challenge to decrease this day was in the format of fasting from fixing it.
For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God. 2 Corinthians 3:5
