Enthusiasm for Miracles:
Miracle - God interrupting the natural progressive order of the world. The natural order of physics is for the universe to decay into chaos. We all age and die, and Generations before us have searched for the ever-illusive fountain of youth, a miracle we still desire to this day. Is that desire morally wrong? Is it just pie in the sky conjecture?
I suppose our souls require these lofty miraculous ideas...they lift us out of our mundane. Our attraction to miracles is what draws us to God's Throne of Grace. The critical element needed is recognition of the "small" ordering God does and how that relates to His character. As we train our eyes to see the natural ordering of life and how that relates to God's Kingdom of Love, we open ourselves up to greater participation in the Divine Nature (a big miracle), and our inner lives get ordered. Truth is woven into the fabric of who we are and into our everyday life, and we are connected to the greater Body of Christ. So I say again, pursue the everyday miracles that God has ordained for Us.
