This chapter is a long narrative portion of Jesus' ministry. Doesn't seem to start of well but later as things go, His ministry begins to prosper even amidst set back and rejection. I realise that even though Jesus performed miracles, people were sceptical. How true even in today's context. We don't see the miracles of old but we do see small miracles but yet we fail to recognise them. Sometimes we want a big huge booming voice to call out from the sky before we sit up and believe, but we seldom want to quiet ourselves to hear the still small voice.
I've had my big miracle before, in NUS. Was dreaming of getting an honours degree but I did not qualify. So I told God that if I did qualify I would serve Him in the VCF. Naturally I thought that my grades would improve, but no. What happened was that NUS policy changed and reduced the criteria for honours and I was able to qualify. It was a lesson on God's power and it showed that my honours degree was no work of my own, but God's providence.
At the camp, many were asked to write their spiritual timeline. I did mine many years ago and continue to extend it using this blog. When I look back I realise it was the small things along the way that made the biggest difference to my life. The small miracles of providence along the way that I failed to see then, but see clearly now. It has shown me that we serve a very faithful God.
Being able to read the Bible everyday for the last 3 years. Now that's a miracle.
