Do we ignore the miracles in our life?

It’s so easy to see the hand of God in the scriptures, right?!

Think of Lehi and Sariah’s entire family, wandering in the wilderness. They read the records of Moses and the children of Israel.

Nephi pointed out to his brothers all of the miracles that the children of Israel experienced.

  • Manna in the wilderness
  • A pillar of light at night
  • Red Sea parted

And his brothers seem to agree with this. It’s easy to see the crazy miracles from the past in the scriptures.

Buuuuuut what did Nephi say about THEIR travel through the wilderness in 1 Nephi 17:12-13?!

  • food is made sweet without cooking
  • light in the wilderness
  • led towards the promised land

And his brothers could not see the hand of God in their own journey. They were SURE that they were being led around by delusional people.

This sounds ridiculous from our perspective, right?!

Nephi’s brothers could see the miracles from the past in the scriptures, as bright as day.

And we can see the miracles from the book of Nephi, as bright as day.

So… what are we missing in our own lives?

What amazing, obvious miracles do we experience so constantly that we stop seeing them as blessings straight from heaven?

  • constant companionship and guiding voice of the Spirit
  • powerful temple covenants and promises
  • priesthood power and blessings

How did Nephi keep the right perspective DURING the miracles? How do WE not lose track of the mighty miracles in our life?

By communing with the Lord often. By living a life of gratitude.

By allowing the Lord to show us His hand.

Happy Studying!
