Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
Some say God no longer does miracles. Those that do may believe the Bible is nothing but a book of fairy tales. Many have stopped going to church thinking it is just a waste of time. I beg to differ from that prevalent thinking. I believe we can see miracles if we just open our eyes to the beauty of human nature.
I believe we were created by God to do good in this world and leave it a better place once we leave it.
One case in point comes from Thailand where 12 boys and their soccer coach were trapped in a cave when waters rose blocking their only way out.
Most know that there was a medical doctor from Austria who was especially adept at cave diving who scuba dived to the boys and stayed with them until every last one made it safely out of that cave. He made sure they stayed hydrated and checked their vital signs. The other miracle was a ordinary soccer player, abandoned by his family, who fluently learned 5 languages and at such a time as this was able to act as a interpreter between the rescuers and the rest of the team. He was a boy without the right to citizenship and yet, God used this boy to keep the other's morale up until they could all be rescued.
Why am I mentioning this fact?
I believe a miracle has happened.
All throughout the Bible, God uses the least of these to do mighty works. Take, for example, Gideon. In Judges 6. God calls Gideon to do a mighty work to save Israel. In Verse 15 are these words, "“Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” Over and over, the Lord reminded Gideon that he won't die because He will be with him.
This ordinary soccer player, abandoned and alone, I believe was in the right place and the right time to save his team.
I believe there are many of us who have this inferiority complex who truly believe we can do no good in this world, but God reminds us over and over again that He will be with you no matter what happens to you in this lifetime.
It is as though you're running this marathon and you have the Savior running beside you giving you encouragement that " all things are possible through Christ who strengthens you."
Just as God used Gideon, He can also use you to do a mighty work for Him. Your life truly matters in the lives of others in this world.
