This time of the year brings out many memories some from childhood some from alife as a husband, father and now grandfather. I was looking in a Bible that was given to me for Christmas whne I went to my first real full time church. It was given to be my mentor and father in Ministry Ernest Sikes. It was the Bible he preached out of when I ame to know Christ, when he did my ordination and later my wedding. I have used it often inthe years that followed. I found yesterday a devotion that was taught by my mother almost 40 yeares ago and it is in her hand writing some of the note's came from a sermon that Ernest preached on Miracles so as we begin this season of Advent and focus of in my opinion the greatest Miracle of all the Virgian Birth and yes I still believe in the Virgin Birth of our savior with out a doubt. For this addition the miracle is the the boy wqith the fishes and loves, found in John's Gospel Chapter 6 Verses 1-14. Here are five thoughts.

  1.  every Miracle has to have a need or problem. Seen or unsean
  2. Requires other people or a need of other people. God offten times involves other people in Miracles.
  3. Mircles seem to happen to the people who are searching after God. We can't whine our way into God's heart.
  4. What God requires of us is often times not Rational ( V7)
  5. We must rember that God expects obediance to Him.

You think about that! Amen
