Does God still perform miracles today?
The Devotional Answer
This is an encouraging question! People often wonder if the incredible power we read about in the Bible stopped when the Bible was finished. The answer is a joyful and confident Yes! God is just as powerful and active today as He was then.
The Simple Answer
Yes, God still performs miracles today! Since God never changes, His power never changes. He works in two ways: through visible, dramatic events and through quiet, daily provisions that show His love and power.
The Deeper Dive: Where to See God’s Power
God is not distant; He is constantly at work. We see His miracles in different ways:
The Visible Miracles: These are the big events—like a sudden, medically impossible healing; a person being saved from a terrible accident; or a massive breakthrough after years of difficulty. These miracles still happen all over the world to show people God's love and power and to build faith.
The Quiet Miracles: These happen every single day, often without a fanfare. This includes the perfect timing that saves you from a problem, the quiet voice that guides your decision, the immediate comfort you feel when you pray, or the way a mean heart is suddenly changed by kindness. The greatest quiet miracle is when a person accepts Jesus and is completely changed from the inside out!
God’s Assurance
The reason we can trust God is still performing miracles is simple: Jesus never changes!
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
— Hebrews 13:8 (NIV)
Your Takeaway Thought
We should pray with great faith, believing God can do anything, while trusting that He will always do what is best for us and what will bring the most glory to His name. Keep your eyes open for God’s quiet miracles!
