When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go, only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He’ll catch you when you fall, or He’ll teach you how to fly!

God does not expect miracles from us. Too often people think they are miracle workers or that they should be. We are not miracle workersÖ but God is!
I confess; I love to see miracles. It builds my faith. Recently I officiated an outside wedding and just into the reception dinner storm clouds suddenly appeared and within minutes there were fairly heavy showers. As I saw the clouds gather I was tempted to stand up and pray that God would keep the rain away from us and not ruin the young couples beautiful wedding dinner. I resisted my temptation and just sat there until the rain took over and everyone had to go inside. The question is why I would even think of such a crazy thing.
Well, last summer we were conducting outdoor evangelistic services in Mexico and the clouds grew black and sheets of rain were heading toward us. I stopped the service and prayed that God would keep the rain away from us so we may present the gospel to the people. Amazingly there were clouds and sheets of rain all around us, in all directions and not a drop of rain fell on us until the service was completed and a number of people came forward to accept Christ. The people in the audience said that the dark cloud came directly at them from behind me and just separated itself around the neighborhood and rained on all sides of us. Was I the miracle worker? Of course not! I just asked the God of miracles for help and he answered yes!
If you need a miracle in your life today donÃt be bashful or embarrassed. Ask the God of miracles for the miracle you need today. I believe God likes to perform miracles as they show His Glory!

So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders.
