What is a
miracle? When does it happen? Is it coincidence? Many people are wondering
about these questions each day. Maybe when something unusual happens
to us, to a close family member or friend. Humanity often wonders…
Scientists
can't explain it. If miracles violate laws of nature, then they could
"never be explained by appeal to natural law." I found a very interesting
article by Theodore M. Drange "Science
and miracles"
As Wikepedia
describes "A miracle is an event attributed to divine intervention.
Sometimes an event is also attributed (in part) to a miracle worker,
saint, or religious leader. A miracle is sometimes thought of as a
perceptible interruption of the laws of nature. Others suggest that
God may work with the laws of nature to perform what people perceive
as miracles Theologians say that, with divine providence, God regularly
works through created nature yet is free to work without, above, or
against it as well. A miracle is often considered a fortuitous event.
In casual
usage, "miracle" is seen as any event that is the result of an action
by God and may also refer to any statistically unlikely but beneficial
event, (such as surviving a natural disaster), or simply a "wonderful"
occurrence, regardless of likelihood, such as a birth. Other miracles
might be: survival of a terminal illness, escaping a life threatening
situation or 'beating the odds.' Some coincidences may be perceived
to be miracles."
The Bible
is full of miracles. Cripples started to walk, blind man from the
birth could see, people rose from the dead, demon's leave the possessed
ones. This is the biggest and oldest source of documented miracles.
Biblical people believed that Jesus could cure them. Belief is very
powerful thing.
This painting
was inspired by miracles, which happens to people every day. This
is the land where it happens. It's a physical-spiritual land where
our soul is filled with belief. Joy, love and peace never leave. I
wish that we would have this feeling wherever we go, through the hard
times or best times of our lives, and we would leave a place for miracles
in our hearts. This is the "Land of Miracles". There are no impossibilities
if you only believe.
