Ordinary Miracles
by Jacci Knight
Sometimes I get to work each morning, pull into the parking lot and realize that I’ve been on autopilot for the last 10 miles…just driving down the highway, thinking about something probably not so important as the road in front of me. I park my car, pull the key from the ignition and wonder how I made all those left-hand turns without even thinking about it. Am I the only one who does this?
I was challenged lately to think about how many ordinary miracles happen around me each day; things I miss simply because I’m not paying attention—like on my drive to work. The sun rises every morning, flowers grow, birds lay eggs that eventually hatch into little birds that instinctively know how to flap their wings and fly away. They seem like ordinary things, until I remember that it is God who “commands the morning and causes the dawn to know its place.” He tells the seas: “Thus far you shall come, and no father,” and it is at His command that “the eagle mounts up and make his nest on high.”
