They came to those without expectations or demands."<br /><br />This is not always the case. And Jesus himself said if you have faith of but a mustard seed, you can say to the mountain "Be moved!" and it will move. Miracles don't come just in times without expectation; they come with faith. Faith is SUBSTANTIAL. It is the substantce of things hopedfor and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11). Furthermore, Paul tells us "Hope does not disappoint." What of the healing of the Centurion's servant? He came to Jesus expecting a miracle, with faith that Christ could heal without even going over there. Or the bleeding woman who touched the hem of his garment. <br /><br />Even in the older times, the people of Israel were admonished to remember the miraculous things God did (that's what Passover is all about), as a reminder of the God they serve.<br /><br />It may be a comfy worldview for you to believe that God mostly stays out of our business and we have to make do with what we have. But from a Bible stand-point, you're wrong.jon TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738915806502002447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747512095461506020.post-33845469588799489422011-03-26T23:13:10.034-04:002011-03-26T23:13:10.034-04:00God don't make no promises he don't keep, ...God don't make no promises he don't keep, but you don't get them on your terms.
