Miracles in the Most Unusual Places
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger. Luke 2:11
When the angels showed up in the shepherd’s field, they announced the greatest and most impactful miracle of all times.
The Saviour, Christ, had come to earth, as a newborn baby.
We often look for miracles in “obvious” places.
We characterize them as big, flashy and only appearing in important places, circumstances or to important people.
However, in reading the Christmas story, we see that this most important and amazing miracle happened in an obscure place to obscure people and in a most unusual way.
The Saviour of the world came as a baby; a helpless, innocent, baby.
Furthermore, that baby appeared, not in a palace, or to a royal family, but to a simple family, in a stable, making His bed in a manager of straw.
How unusual.
How unorthodox.
How unexpected.
Real miracles show up in the most unusual places in the most unusual ways.
We need to train our spiritual eyes and ears to be in tune to the working of the Lord in our lives and in the lives around us.
Open up those eyes and began to see the multitude of miracles surrounding you today, in the most unusual places.
