Every day is a miracle

Nature is very delicately balanced. Too much of one thing can make our lives miserable. The Egyptians discovered that too many frogs, gnats, or flies made their land untenable (Ex 7-9). God had tipped the balance of nature. Sure the magicians reproduced some of these, but not on the scale that God did. They could not upset the equilibrium with magic. It took a miracle to do that. God did this to demonstrate His power and spread His fame throughout the earth (Ex 9:15-16). Isn’t it just as miraculous that nature remains balanced most of the time? Shouldn’t we see God’s power and fame in the constant state of beautiful order in the universe? Jesus’ power is the only thing that holds this world together (Col 1:16-17). If He removed His Spirit we would return to dust (Psa 104:29). Every day is a miracle.
