God doesn’t just sometimes decide to do a miracle, and sometimes not to. He is always ready to do a miracle in your life.
To receive a miracle you need to be an active participant, not a spectator. If you need a miracle in your life – get off your couch, and get involved with your miracle. Every miracle in the Bible that Jesus did, required some action.
2 Kings 5:1-15 tells of Naaman a Army captain who had leprosy, who seeked for a healing through the prophet Elisha. When he was told to go wash in the Jordon river 7 times. Naaman became angry, he though Elisha would greet him face to face, and call upon God, wave his hand over Naaman’s rotting flesh and he would be cured, but Naaman was instructed to bathe himself in the muddy murky waters of the Jordon River seven times. But Naaman didn’t like the looks of the Jordan River. He had better rivers at home, he believed. He wondered why he just couldn’t bathe there. Naaman became frustrated at Elisha’s advice. And he decided he was not going to immerse himself in the dirty was, not even once, let alone seven times. But Naaman had a caring council of servants, who came to him and asked him to shallow his pride and do as Elisha said. And take a few dips in the Jordon. After doing this Naaman was healed but not after he realized he wasn’t to good to bathe in dirty water. His healing required him to do some things he just didn’t want to do.
Like Naaman, sometimes we have to swallow our pride and do what God, says. To get our miracle. God wants to heal us all. But how many of us are not willing to do what the savior instructs us to do to get our healing.
Having faith in God, is shown time and time again in God’s Word. If you need a healing maybe it’s time to get with “the game” and make God your focus, rather than your circumstances.
