“Expel those doubts and remind yourself of the miracles and the good things he has done for you. He can turn your mourning into dancing and your darkest night into day.”

Deuteronomy 10:21
He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.

I’d toddled off to the kitchen to make a steaming beverage for my family. In the lounge were Karen, my wife, Ryan and Amy, my son and daughter-in-law, and their children Ruben, Grace and Zac. As I waited for the kettle to boil, I was thinking about life. “Lord,” I prayed quietly, “I know you’re a miracle-working God yet I’ve not seen any healings.” Like the next guy, I have often prayed for healing and I know God heals but at that moment I had forgotten the goodness of the God I serve and I was absorbed by my doubts. Turning my back on the kettle I grumbled, “Lord, I wish I could just see a miracle.”

Just then, my 11-year-old grandson, Ruben popped his head out the lounge door and looked at me. He then withdrew back into the lounge without uttering a word. Instantly the Holy Spirit reminded me of an awesome healing miracle that my eyes had seen.

When Ruben was a mere 3 weeks old he was rushed to hospital with suspected sepsis. Sepsis is extremely dangerous for a small infant. Karen and I hurried to the hospital to be with Amy and Ryan and to pray for little Ruben. Ruben was fitting uncontrollably. Then the unimaginable happened, he stopped breathing. Medics rushed to his side to resuscitate him. After he was resuscitated, they made plans to transfer Ruben to an intensive care unit in a specialised children’s hospital. We continued to pray and trust God for a miracle. There he was, his small form, infiltrated by a respirator and myriad monitoring machines.

Twenty-four hours later, Karen and I visited him again. To our amazement, the cables and tubes had been removed. “He’s on the mend,” said the ICU sister. “I have never seen such a quick turnaround in all my working life,” she added. Ruben was healed… miraculously!

Ruben said nothing to me that day when he looked at me from the lounge. I believe the Holy Spirit used him to simply pry me from my moping doubts and remind me that he is my God who has done great and awesome things for me, which my eyes have seen.

We serve a miracle-working God. There is nothing too difficult for the Lord. Expel those doubts and remind yourself of the miracles and the good things he has done for you. He can turn your mourning into dancing and your darkest night into day.

God-tracking is remembering the things he has done.

“Dear Lord, I’m sorry for my doubts and my short memory. I remember the good things you have done for me and I celebrate all the miracles I have experienced. Praise you my God who has done great and awesome things for me, which my eyes have seen. Nothing is too hard for you. I rejoice in your goodness and love. Amen.”
