Better Than a Miracle
by Gloria Copeland
If you could choose between living in THE BLESSING and living in miracles, which would you choose?
Most people would opt for the latter. They’d think about all the times in their lives they’ve needed God to rescue them from trouble, and decide that being able to get a miracle any time they needed it would truly be the best.
But would it?
Certainly, miracles are marvelous. And when, in our time of need, God sends one, we’re always grateful. But is going from miracle to miracle really God’s highest plan for us? Is it really the best way to live?
No, it’s not.
While it’s wonderful to be miraculously healed of sickness; it’s even better to walk continually in THE BLESSING of divine health so that you don’t get sick in the first place. While it’s wonderful to get miracle money in the mail when you’re too broke to pay your rent; it’s far better to live in THE BLESSING of divine prosperity so that you always have enough to pay your own bills and be a BLESSING to others.
I can attest to this from experience because Ken and I have lived both ways. For the first five years we were born again, we needed miracles a lot. Especially when it came to finances, we were always on the edge of disaster. God saw us through and miraculously kept us afloat, but I like where we are today much better. I don’t need a miracle to pay my light bill anymore. I’m not living in lack and financial desperation, because we’ve learned to walk in God’s BLESSING.
THE BLESSING has always been God’s plan for His people! That’s why in Genesis 1, the first thing He did when He created man was to BLESS him and put him in the Garden of Eden.
