Little Miracles

Tonight, in family scripture study, we read 2 Kings Chapter 4, in which Elisha performs many little miracles. He blesses an elderly couple to have a child, and he raises the child from the dead when he dies, he also multiplies oil for one person and food for another. These miracles were performed for a relatively small number of people, especially compared to the more public, flashy miracles, like parting bodies of water or calling fire down from heaven. Rather, these "little miracles" were meant mostly for specific individuals.

In our lives, we also experience little miracles. We receive countless blessings, which we may barely notice, some of which we don't even recognize as miracles because we take them for granted or chalk them up to luck. But whether we notice them or not, these miracles enrich our lives greatly, and I'm grateful to God for caring enough to bless us individually, often in ways so subtle that we don't even notice them to think to thank Him for them. So, when I pray tonight, I'm going to thank God for all the little miracles He put in my life today, especially the ones that were too small to even notice.
