Thank God for Little Improvements

There are many times I have heard people say "I am praying for you." My curiosity always wants to know what exactly are they praying for. I have seen many occasions where people pray for miracles during tragic events or circumstances. I'm not here to dispute the fact that God can perform miracles. I know he can, but the reason they are called miracles is because of the frequency with which they happen. If miracles occured on a regular basis then they would no longer be miracles, they would become normal and worse, maybe even expected. What I do believe God provides on a regular basis are little improvements. What we too often do is overlook them and keep hoping for something bigger and more drastic. We must learn to give paise for the little things. Your prayer may not have been answered the way you intended but it was answered with divine knowledge.

Do you feel better? "Well, I feel a little bit better than yesterday." I say that is a blessing. Thank God that you feel better than you did, even if it is just a little bit. It could just as easily be the opposite and you could feel a little worse, or even a lot worse. So let us not forget to give thanks for all things in life, not just the easy to see miracles that stand out.
