DON’T FORGET THE MIRACLES

For they considered not the miracle of the loaves, for their heart was hardened.—Mark 6:52 (KJV)

Reflecting on the miracles of Jesus, we see that many times in the bible hearts can sometimes remain hardened despite witnessing divine power firsthand. From the woman healed by her faith to the raising of Jairus’s daughter, and even the feeding of over five thousand, each miracle was a testament to God’s power and compassion. Yet, even the disciples, after witnessing these events, forgot His works, and their hearts grew callous.

Remembering God's Miracles: A Call to Deepen Faith and Gratitude

How often do we forget God’s miracles in our lives? Surviving accidents, healing our loved ones, or experiencing sudden breakthroughs—these are undeniable acts of God. Let us not allow our hearts to become hardened by forgetfulness. Instead, cherish and remember God’s wondrous deeds, for they deepen our faith and keep us rooted in gratitude. Stay vigilant and never underestimate the power of our miraculous God.

Recognizing God's Ongoing Miracles Amidst Spiritual Hardening

Sometimes, after witnessing God’s wondrous works, we too can become inattentive or even hardened to His ongoing miracles in our lives. The Bible reminds us in Mark 6:52, “For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.” The disciples had seen Jesus perform incredible miracles—healing the sick, calming storms, and feeding thousands—and yet, moments later, they forgot those miracles and began to doubt.

Recognizing the Miracles in Our Lives

Think about the miracles you’ve witnessed in your life: surviving dangerous accidents, miraculous recoveries, unanswered prayers that were eventually answered, or moments of unexpected provision. These are God’s undeniable works, personally performed for us. They are beyond explanation and stretch beyond our understanding.
