Reflect on the Word
What comes to mind when you hear the word "miracles"? Miracles come in big and small moments. Sometimes miracles are super obvious, and other times they're more private. The Bible reveals that a miracle is an act of God, a time when God shows up and gets the glory.
Does God still do miracles today? Yes! He continues to answer prayers, to heal and to provide.
Consider the greatest miracle we can experience: becoming a Christian. By faith in Jesus, who miraculously rose from the dead, God does the impossible and transforms us into new creations.
What is a miracle you've experienced or witnessed? Share stories. Next, consider starting a family "miracle box." Whenever you witness a miracle, answer to prayer or "God sighting," write or draw it on a piece of paper and place it in the box or jar. When the jar is full, or at the end of a month or year, pull them out and read them together to reflect.
May we always be people who notice God's work and share His miracles with others!
Reflect, pray + bless
- Reflect: God works miracles. Reflect on a miracle from Scripture, one from your own life or one that you've witnessed.
- Pray: If weather allows, go outside and look at the starts. Soak in God's grandness as you share your prayers with Him.
- Bless: "[Child's name], may you put your trust in our miracle-working God. May you have faith to pray the big prayers and eyes to see God on display."
