What do you do after you get your miracle?

Focusing on the miracle and forgetting about the miracle worker is problematic. God does everything for a purpose.  Every miracle should be a catalyst to draw us closer to God.  Many of us don’t hesitate to share the miracles God has done YET we refuse to surrender to Him.  The miracle is half of the story, what it does to you and how it creates change in your heart is what completes the testimony. Many times people are in desperate situations and they may need provision, healing, peace etc.  They ask for prayer and God moves and performs a miracle.  They get excited for the moment.  However with the passing of time, their pursuit of God fades and the truth is revealed; they were more interested in what God could give them and not God Himself.  What a great tragedy! I don’t want that to ever be my testimony.  After my prayers are answered and God works a miracle I want to be more on fire for Him and my pursuit of Him to be even greater! In Luke 17 :11-19 Jesus heals ten lepers but ONLY ONE came back to thank Him. How about you? Take some time to reflect on the miracles God has worked in your life.  What were the end results, did you come back more on fire and committed to serve Him or did you take the miracle and run?
