The Greatest Miracle is You {Moments with God}

{speaking to the Lord} I remember the many times You’ve moved on my behalf.  Moments I saw no escape, and yet You made a way for me when there seemed to be no way. You demonstrate Your faithfulness again and again and again. And yet when hardships and trials come my way, I have to fight all over to remain steadfast in my trust. I have to fight to remember the truth of who You are and of who I am to You.

{declaring} But I will remind Myself of all You’ve done, and wait with expectation for what You’re going to do. You are the God of miracles, and nothing is too hard for You. So I’ll stand fast, and I’ll stay true, and I’ll wait for You to move. I will rest in the knowledge of Your great love, for the greatest miracle is You.

Psalm 136:4 (TPT) Give thanks to the only miracle working God! His tender love for us continues on forever!
