I’ve got miracles on miracles
A million little miracles
Miracles on miracles
Count your miracles
One, two, three, four, I can’t even count ’em all
A Million Little Miracles, Elevation Worship
Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many to declare.
Psalm 40:5, NIV
It is sometimes so easy for us to get blinded by our situations and circumstances. So easy to forget the goodness of the Lord.
But as I look back at my life, with all of its up and downs, I can clearly see the hand of the Lord in my life.
No wonder David writes:
Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many to declare. (Psalm 40:5)
I sometimes forget just how good God has been to me over the course of the last 34 years – and in many ways the story of God’s move in my life has only just begun.
God saved me from the darkness of addiction. He pulled me from the jaws of death. Jesus took me from the miry clay and placed me on the solid ground of His love, mercy and grace.
But those are the big things.
As I write this I am reminded of all the smaller things the Lord does on a daily basis. How He moves people to reach out when I am feeling discouraged, a hug or a message at the right time.
How He provides – daily – and sees to every need. Every grain of rice, every slice of bread.
How He guides – divine appointments, encounters and meetings that can only be seen as God moments.
How He heals – everything from the common cold and an upset tummy to our deepest grief, despair and sorrow.
If I were to start, just like David, telling of all His wonders I would never stop.
So, in writing this today I don’t have much to share in the way of words – but gratitude – so much gratitude.
Where would I be but for the grace and love of Jesus?
I want to encourage you today. If you are feeling down, if you are feeling discouraged – Jesus is the way maker and the miracle worker – and He is preparing Your breakthrough.
He has never put to shame anyone who trusts in Him. Just rest in Him.
Pray with me: Lord, as I go about my day today, let me be mindful of Your hand in my life. Let me not forget that You move, not only in the roar of the oceans and the crumbling of mountains, but also in the small things. Let Your love not go unnoticed in my life today. In Jesus name. Amen.
Think:
- Noticing the “Small” Miracles: It is easy to look for God only in massive breakthroughs. What is one subtle, everyday blessing from this past week that you might have taken for granted?
- Overcoming Circumstantial Blindness: When difficult circumstances cloud your view, what specific practice helps you shift your attention back to God’s past track record of faithfulness?
- Your “Miry Clay” Testimony: Looking back at where God has brought you from, how can remembering your ultimate deliverance change your perspective on the current trial you face?

The “100-Count” Gratitude Audit
- Set Aside 10 Minutes: Open a notebook or a digital document.
- List the Unseen & Everyday: Challenge yourself to write down as many specific blessings as possible without stopping, aiming for at least 20 to start. Focus on the micro-details: timely text messages, physical breath, specific answered prayers, or daily provision.
- Anchor Psalm 40:5: Keep this list nearby. Whenever stress or discouragement arises this week, read through your list out loud as an act of declaration that God is actively working in your life.
