"And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform." Romans 4 :19-21
Do you want to see more miracles in your life? Then consider God's promises and consider not your problems. Think about and meditate on God's promises and not on your circumstances. Abraham considered not what he saw in his body or his wife's body, but considered the promise of God. To consider means to think about, to ponder, to meditate on.
There is only one other place in the Bible where someone, actually someones, considered not. In Mark 6:45, after Jesus fed the 5,000, He told the disciples to get into the ship and cross over to Bethsaida. After Jesus sent the people away and spent some time in prayer, He saw the disciples in the middle of the sea. The wind was blowing against them and they were rowing hard. Jesus walked on the water towards them, but when they saw Him they were afraid because they thought He was a ghost. Now here is where you need to stop and put your spiritual thinking cap on. The Bible says in Mark 6:51-52, the disciples "were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened." Their heart was hardened because they considered not the miracle of the loaves. Your heart will harden if you consider not God's promises and only consider your problems. Having a hard heart does not always mean you are rebellious. The disciples were not rebellious. Having a hard heart can also mean you are deprived of wisdom, judgment, and understanding. Ponder this for a moment. Your heart is hardened when you relate more easily to the natural realm than you do to the supernatural realm. When things in the natural realm are more real to you than things in the supernatural realm, you have a hardened heart. If you are more moved by what you see in the world than by what God’s Word says, your heart is hardened.
Another thing you can glean from Mark 6:51 where it says the disciples “were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered,” is that you should never be amazed when Jesus does a miracle in your life. You should look for miracles in your life every day. Expect them and thank Him for them even before you see them. And just one more thing. Don't try to figure it out. Don't try to explain it. You can see the natural things. You can figure it out and even explain what you see. But God's miracles are supernatural. You will never be able to explain or figure them out, so don't even try. God wants to take care of you. He wants you to trust Him, so just sit back and enjoy.
So are you ready to see more miracles in your life? Are you ready for a soft heart? Then consider God's promises and consider not your problems. Ponder God's promises and not your circumstances. Think about God's promises and not how you feel. In fact, meditate on God's promise over your problem until you see the promise.
"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18
