God's Everyday Miracles: A Workbook

By Susan Marie

2 God's Everyday Miracles can often go ignored or forgotten, wiped away as coincidence, or just good fortune. God is constantly working in our lives and we simply become oblivious to it. I don't believe that this is our intention, but the world can unknowingly skew our vision. This workbook is intended to aid us in removing the blinders over our eyes. It is also partly intended to function as a journal, so that you the reader may use it as a tool to regain your vision. Let's start re-training ourselves to see and acknowledge where we should be singing God's praises. Let's train ourselves to begin looking into our lives and notice where He has been at work. Let's develop a God-microscope to help us interpret our crazy lives and see where we have experienced God's mighty hand. I have both heard and experienced countless acts of God! We all have! God is constantly active in our lives! Let's stop sweeping His miracles under the rug. Instead, let us start uncovering them! Let's start training ourselves to notice them, so we can sing about them! Let's praise His mighty name!

God’s Everyday Miracles

Miracles happen every day. At least, that is what people say, right? The Bible is full of miraculous events, but how many people have actually been present during a miracle? How many people can say they’ve actually seen one?

I bet if you think about it, every single one of us!

Lord, You are our Father. We are like clay, and You are the Potter. Your hands made us all (Isaiah 64:8 ICB).

The Bible says that God created all things. It says, that He created both men and women. However, most of us take life for granted. People no longer look at little babies like miracles from heaven.

Children are a gift from the Lord. Babies are a reward (Psalm 127:3 ICB).

Science teaches us how eggs get fertilized and then grow, but without God’s breath, life cannot occur. We call God’s breath our soul, and the soul, or God’s breath has been theorized as having weight: twenty-one grams specifically.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7 KJV).

Like I said however, people take life for granted and no longer see it as a miracle. So I want you to focus on God’s next miracle, the creation of women. The Bible says that God created her from the rib of Adam.

So the Lord God caused the man to sleep very deeply. While the man was asleep, God took one of the ribs from the man’s body. Then God closed the man’s skin at the place where He took the rib. The Lord God used the rib from the man to make a woman. Then the Lord brought the woman to the man (Genesis 2:21–22 ICB)

What’s so miraculous about that? Did you know that the only bone in the human body that can regrow itself is the rib? I doubt that medical science knew that back in the days when the Bible was written! Wow, right?

I don’t know about you, but to me, that says scientific proof positive that the Bible is true!

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching and for showing people what is wrong in their lives. It is useful for correcting faults and teaching how to live right. Using the Scriptures, the person who serves God will be ready and will have everything he needs to do every good work (2 Timothy 3:16–17 ICB).

Does this mean that we should go around telling people how they are supposed to be living? No, but it does mean that we are supposed to be looking at our own lives and seeing how God wants us to be living.

‘Why do you notice the small piece of dust that is in your friend’s eye, but you don’t notice the big piece of wood that is in your own? Why do you say to your friend, ‘Let me take that piece of dust out of your eye’? Look at yourself first! You still have that big piece of wood in your own eye (Matthew 7:3–4 ERV)

So using this formula, I’m going to look for miracles in my own life. (Either myself alone or secondhand through my family’s and friend’s personal stories.) God has His hand on every single person in the world, but you can’t tell someone else they’ve been given a miracle if they refuse to see it. I want to show you all of the amazing things that I personally have heard or witnessed. The list is amazingly long! And I bet there are still countless occasions that I myself was oblivious of. I hope that by sharing my list with you, that you will start seeing God’s hand in your own lives.

"The Most High God has done miracles and wonderful things for me. I am happy to tell you about these
