Miracles

So it's been a very long while, almost 2 months.

Nevertheless, God is moving in my life.

Today was another lazy day, since I'm still out of school. Watched movies, played video games, watched tv. I had to pick up my bike from the shop, but before that i took a nice hour-long nap.
Right when I woke up, I got a call from Stacy telling me that I got an interview at Noonoppi on Monday, and I was pretty much hired. Seven months without a job, and it falls into my lap, praise God!

So it is only fitting that my devotional today talks about believing in the God of miracles. Some of the verses really spoke to me, so I will share them with you.

John 6: 33-40
"God's bread is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." The people said, "Sir, give us this bread always." Then Jesus said, "I am the bread that gives life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you before, you have seen me and still don't believe. The Father gives me my people. Every one of them will come to me, and I will always accept them. I came down from heaven to do what God wants me to do, not what I want to do. Here is what the One who sent me wants me to do: I must not lose even one whom God gave me, but I must raise them all on the last day. Those who see the Son and believe in him have eternal life, and I will raise them on the last day. This is what my Father wants.

The people are so quick to forget the miracle that Jesus performed, so they ask him to do another miracle to prove he is the one sent by God. This is less than a day after he feeds over 10,000 people, and they need to see another miracle. The part that really touches me is when Jesus says that he will always accept those who come to him. That is a miracle in itself. Even though the people torture, mock, and crucify him, he will still accept them if they turn from their old life and believe in him.

I'm truly thankful for that miracle, and the small miracle of God granting me an interview. I gotta keep remembering that He is the God of miracles, and nothing is impossible for Him.

1 Chronicles 16: 8-12
Give thanks to the LORD and pray to him. Tell the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praises to him. Tell about all his miracles. Be glad that you are his; let those who seek the LORD be happy. Depend on the LORD and his strength; always go to him for help. Remember the miracles he has done, his wonders, and his decisions.
