Miracles

A miracle is an event which is not produced by the natural causes that are operative at the time and place that the event occurs.

“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” Luke 1:37

Since there is a Creator who designed and brought the universe into being, who sustains its existence moment by moment, who is responsible for the very natural laws that govern the physical world, then certainly it’s rational to believe that miracles are possible.

The following example is summarized and taken from “Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul.”

In 1980 David Carr of Bango, Maine started out to find a haven for the homeless. Previously he had heard that a man had been murdered and thrown over the bridge into the Penabscot River. David’s urgings led him to that side of the river to look for the perfect location. While walking the bridge a car drove up with three men inside. As they got out of their car, one yelled, “let’s throw him over. Realizing he was on the same bridge where the murder happened, he urgently began to pray, “Help me God.” Immediately he felt an unseen present beside him, and he felt a peace wash over him. When the three men rushed toward him, they suddenly looked terrified and turned away and ran. He wondered what they saw. Upon continuing his walk, he passed some derelicts who said he was shining so much, he was hard to look at. Another car drove by, and he recognized his friend. The next day the friend said he couldn’t pick him up because he didn’t have room in his car for all three of Dave’s huge friends. Dave realized God had provided His angels to protect him.

I we believe in God, then we can believe in miracles.
