It is always exciting when God performs a miracle in your life and often you may be tempted to seek the miracle, instead of God. At those times, you should remember that Jesus is your salvation. He is the one who liberates and delivers you from any trouble. He is your victory.

From Jehovah the Lord, you receive your affirmation. You should listen to Him as He exhorts, advises, commands, and directs you. He has told you that if you believe and trust Him, you will behold the splendor, brightness, magnificence and glory of Almighty God. You know you can have confidence in Yeshua your Messiah, for you have seen His faithfulness in bestowing His eternal salvation to you. He is the Creator and Ruler of the whole universe, who provides everything that you will ever need.

Therefore, whether you see a miracle or the Lord's daily provision, both reveal His glory to you. He is always showing His preeminence and absolute perfection, through which He gives you dignity and grace. And you can do nothing less than praise and honor the One in whom you believe.
