John 11:40 (NIV): “Then Jesus said, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?’”

When we think of miracles, we often picture dramatic moments—seas parting, blind eyes opening, the dead rising. But the real power of a miracle isn’t just in what God does—it’s in what it reveals about who He is. Every miracle in the Bible uncovers a deeper truth about God’s heart.
Take the wedding at Cana (John 2), where Jesus turned water into wine. On the surface, it’s a small-scale act. No lives were saved. No crisis averted. But behind the miracle was deep compassion. Jesus honored a couple’s wedding and spared them shame. He cared about their dignity. That’s the heart behind the miracle: tender, personal, and full of grace.
Or consider the feeding of the 5,000 (Matthew 14). Jesus saw a hungry crowd and didn’t just offer spiritual teaching—He fed them. He didn’t ignore physical needs; He met them with abundance. This miracle wasn’t only about multiplying food—it was about showing that God sees, God cares, and God provides.
Miracles are never random. They’re moments when heaven kisses earth to reveal the nature of a loving Father. And often, they begin with faith. Again and again, Jesus said, “Your faith has made you well.” The miracle isn’t just an act of power—it’s an invitation to trust, to believe, to see God clearly.
If you’re praying for a miracle today, know this: God’s answer is not only about changing your situation. It’s about revealing His love, His compassion, and His nearness. Don’t just look for what He does—look for who He is in the middle of it.
Prayer
Loving Father, help me to see Your heart in every miracle. Teach me to trust not just in what You do, but in who You are. Let my faith rise to meet Your power, and may Your compassion shine through every work in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
