How can we deny the Divine intervention of the Lord? Are there not critical times in world history that lives and nations are saved by the hand of God? More specifically, can we look back at history, use everyday logic, and roughly calculate divine providence? I believe the answer is yes! Take for example a series of miracles that occurred during the American Revolution. It was barely a month and a half after the Declaration of Independence ( July 4th,…..
Have you ever had a burst of creativity or a series of thoughts and wondered where it came from? Do we really believe we are so naturally incredible that almost perfect ideas are stored in our minds ready for immediate use? What about talents and creations from our own hands that flow out without any need for correction? I believe divine inspiration and Godly intervention can explain all. Take for example the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. When most 4…..
How do we define events that usually have disastrous outcomes and turn out positive beyond our belief? Would you consider them unbelievably lucky? A miracle beyond explanation? Or possibly, divine intervention by the grace of God? Even if you were convinced God’s hand was involved, how could you prove it? I believe logic, mathematical probability, and rough odds are a way to identify Divine Providence. Take for example flight 1549 and the miraculous outcome 10 years ago. After lifting off…..
Have you ever prayed to God for an answer or a direction in life? Were you possibly desperate for Godly wisdom? Maybe your inner most desire was to follow the Lord’s divine will. This course of thinking has replayed in my life countless times. Maybe it has for you also. I will be thinking about a subject or praying for guidance and like a miracle the answer will arrive. Sometimes it occurs right away and I’ll turn to the Bible…..
Have you ever just met someone and suddenly made an unlikely connection? Was the event like a thread that led to more? Perhaps it was necessary to meet a particular person that helped with a new career, an idea, or a future relationship that would change your course in life. Maybe it started out as casual conversation with a stranger or you just happened to ” bump” into someone you haven’t seen for a while. The real question is ;…..
Do we realize when and how miracles have occurred right in front of our own eyes? Some famous leaders have recognized God’s intervention, and we are blessed with their observations. Major George Washington would experience and record God’s saving grace 22 years before the Declaration of Independence and his critical role in the American Revolution. It was 1754 during the French and Indian War that Washington was exposed to death and was saved by God. Then major Washington fighting for…..
When and how do we know that miracles have occurred? There are countless examples in history. Some miracles are obvious, some acts of divine intervention, are not. Take for example the “Miracle of Dunkirk ” as Winston Churchill would call it. It was after May 10th 1940 and the German Panzer attack through Belgium was so swift and furious that by may 24th, the British and French armies were pushed back to the north coast of France. The new British…..
Often we account for an unexplainable event or chance meeting by writing it off as coincidence, uncontrolled synchronicity, or just ” luck. ” What if what we were seeing was more than an accident? What if it was pre-ordained, God’s will, and a glimpse of divine guidance? More specifically, how could we possibly prove to ourselves that it was under supernatural control? I have asked myself these questions for years. I discovered that once you accept the fact that there…..
