Someone asked me once if I "really believed" all of those miracles in the Bible. To be honest, I don't understand why some people find them hard to believe.

Parting water, making eyes that were originally designed to see, see again, making ears that were designed to hear, hear again. Bushes burning and not burning up, having really awesome timing....

These aren't even descent parlor tricks to Almighty God the creator of all things.

But when I see a 10 year old die, and the parents make it through, they find the strength in their faith to pull through a situation like that... WOW! Now THAT's a miracle.

Or when a person who has been kicked, spat upon and abused all their life hears the Word of God and comes to the faith, and trusts in Jesus as a personal friend and savior, Again, Those miracles really grab my full attention.

If God were to re-arrange the stars and spell out; "I am Here" in the sky, there would still be those who would refuse to believe, who would call it a coincidence, or an optical illusion.

But when a non believer comes to the faith, or when a believer holds to the faith in the midst of tribulation, That's the stuff real miracles are made of!

Amen and that's why we serve a big God who is bigger than all our problems.

I was focusing on the blind man in John 9 where Jesus not only heals his blind eyes , he saved his soul and the man was healed from physical blindness as well as spiritual blindness which like you said is an even greater miracle. His parents said we know he was born blind but now he can see.

When Jesus asked the blind man " Do you believe in the Son of Man ? ' the man said " Lord I believe."

The the song comes to mind and the movie "Amazing Grace" I once was blind but now I see. When we come to Jesus our blindness is lifted by the power of the cross and we can see spiritually.
