[Discoveries] 07-06-07 A life of daily miracles

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*The LORD your God will drive out those nations before you, little by 
little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the 
wild animals will multiply around you. -- Deuteronomy 7:22*/

There are all kinds of miracles, and all kinds of situations leading up 
to them. But let me focus on two of them. First, there is the 
back-against-the-wall, I-need-You-now kind of situation that results in 
the parting of the Red Sea, the raising of Lazarus from the dead, the 
deliverance of the three Hebrew children.

Second, there is the conquest of Canaan. God could have wiped out all 
the evil inhabitants of the land in an instant, and held the door wide 
open for the people of Israel to occupy. But He refused to do it that 
way. Instead, He promised to drive out the evil inhabitants little by 
little.

God required them to depend on daily miracles - not a once-for-all-time 
miracle. Daily they needed supernatural strength and wisdom to win and 
not lose. Everything was at stake.

In the same way, God could easily wipe out everything that holds us back 
in the Christian life. But don't hold your breath - it isn't going to 
happen. The Christian life is like the conquest of Canaan, God wants to 
grant you new grace for new victories day by day.

Be encouraged!
