The Lord does miraculous things in our lives every day, although we take most of them for granted. I noticed the rising sun as I moved boxes from our garage into the attic above it. Brilliant oranges and yellows shined brightly on my face, warming it. I felt compelled to stop and praise God for another miraculous day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elevation Worship\u2019s praise song \u201cDo It Again\u201d has a mighty chorus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>I&#8217;ve seen You move, You move the mountains<br>And I believe, I&#8217;ll see You do it again<br>You made a way, where there was no way<br>And I believe, I&#8217;ll see You do it again<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Whenever I sing the words, God\u2019s Spirit moves and empowers me because I believe the Lord can do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Spend time today thinking about how God worked in your life. Meditate on the miracles you have experienced. Then remind your fears of the Master you serve, and move forward boldly knowing God can do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Prayer:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Lord,<br>Thank You for all the miracles You work in our lives daily. Please help us remember how You\u2019ve cared for us in the past and live fearfully, knowing You can and will do it again.<br>IJNP.
