So many ask me today if God is/were as great as you say, then where are the
miracles? Why are people fighting and struggling for life? Firstly,
remember that we exist in a fallen world, don't doubt that. Praise the
Lord God that He sent His Son to Save us. Because of this, we don't
have to be afraid anymore. We can expect our prayers to be answered and
we can expect miracles.
The problem may be that people
don't expect them because they can't imagine them. Speaking to you as a
sociologist, social interaction between people in a place determines
what they consider normal behavior. If your group has lost its
spirituality, then how could miracles happen? Maybe they could or would
but if you as a member of a group and the group as a whole don't imagine their possibility as
normal social life which includes the 'social' spiritual life of the social imagination, then they
will not be.
When it comes to believing in miracles, or a even a spiritual social imagination whereat the Creator of Heaven and Earth is at the helm, I often hear "Oh yeah, well I prayed and I did not get what I wanted." Prayers and miracles are for God to
answer and He does. The time of His answering may or may not be 'your'
time. If it were, then ultimately we would be in control, wouldn't we.. and not God.
If
we as individuals and as a member of a group expected answered prayers
and miracles as the 'norm', then God's timing would be normal too.
Man is falling into a dark social imagination where the light of hope is escaping as if being swallowed by a dark force, an anti-matter, a black hole.
..."Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me" Psalm 23
