CREATIVE MIRACLES

This week we have looked at some miracles that required acts of "creation" (using the word loosely) in order to bring them about.  As we face some of life's situations, we need the intervention of a BIG God.  The question becomes, "How big is your god?"  You see, our understanding of the origin of the universe is all-important for our daily lives.  "Big Bangs" are no substitute for a big and personal God when you need a creative miracle.

Psalm 78:41 KJV;  Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

Psalm 78 TM:  We're not keeping this to ourselves, we're passing it along to the next generation-GOD's fame and fortune, the marvelous things he has done....Never forget the works of God....He split the Sea and they walked right through it....He made creeks flow out from sheer rock and water pour out like a river....He rained down showers of manna to eat....He let East Wind break loose from the skies, gave a strong push to South Wind.  This time it was birds that rained down-succulent birds, an abundance of birds.  He aimed them right for the center of their camp; all around their tents there were birds.  They ate and had their fill; he handed them everything they craved on a platter....He took good care of them; they had nothing to fear....He scattered everyone who got in their way; he staked out an inheritance for them....

106:6 NIV:  Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.

v. 8 KJV:  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

145:3 NIV:  Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.

Beyond Five:  Psalm 107.  Prayer:  To You be the glory!  Great things You have done!  For ME!
