Cows and Miracles by Delores Liesner
Would you believe a cow turned me into a
miracle-believing lady? Though I’d always known about Jesus dying on the cross,
and the Bible being God’s words, it took a couple of amazing and unexplainable
events for me to understand miracles could happen to me and through me!
Not realizing we were risk-taking hubby and I
hopped in the car and headed for Colorado. Youthful and ignorant in the ways of
the world, we’d learned the night before that the Navigator’s who produced the
Bible studies our friend had given us were having a conference so we packed up
and went! When a startled young man answered our phone call, made when we were
already halfway across the country, we got to thinking maybe we should have
told them we were coming!

The conference was full, but separate rooms across
campus were found for us. Consequently we only sat by each other during
meetings and meals, so we didn’t compare notes until on the way home. When we
both started sharing the identical leading—to give a certain amount to a
specific missionary for 6 months—we knew God was at work. The only amount in
our budget that matched the leading was for food. Would God ask us to give up
food? We said we would, and God surprised us with every meal in a most unexpected
way.
That is from Surprise
Us for Dinner, God, the first story in my upcoming 31-day
personal-challenge devotional, Be The
Miracle! When God did that miracle (delivered a cow when we asked Him to
surprise us for dinner!) at the beginning of our Christian life, we knew He was
real, and that He dealt with people on a personal level. If God could do this,
we figured He could do anything, and our faith grew with every story.
Each of the true incidents tells how God led me to
bless someone else (often a stranger), or others bringing us an unexpected
answer to prayer. Often when I share my stories, some women are excited to tell
stories of miracles in their own lives. Others wonder if God would do miracles
through them too.
I always share that God is not a
get-your-prayers-answered-here vending machine. But God does call all of His
followers to put our hands and feet (and less often our voice) to our faith to
be what I call a delivery-girl for God. Just as we represent our spouses with
our children, and our supervisors with the public because we know them so well,
and can anticipate their response to a situation, we can know God in such a
personal way that we can represent Him to others too.
That takes time. In Be The Miracle! the life changing lesson, verse and challenge for
each story will help you get in God’s Word and be the miracle—the messenger
delivering an answer to someone’s prayer.
