I was just reflecting on some miracle stories found in Matthew 9.  In it we find Jesus responding to a ruler's request to come and heal his dead daughter.  While on the way, a lady touches his garment and is healed.  Arriving at the rulers home the dead daughter is raised up. Passing two bind men, he heals them and "their eyes were opened".  Proceeding onward, Jesus comes upon a demonized mute, whom he also heals.  Not bad for days work! Lets pick up the story there...

And when the demon had been cast out, the mute spoke.
And the crowds marveled, saying "Never had anything like this been seen in Israel."
But the Pharisee's said, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons."

So what does this mean?  It means good things happen and there will always be those that "dis" the actions and will distract you into their negative narrative.   The truth is 1) a lady with a 12 year health problem was healed. 2) a loved dead daghter is alive. 3) two formerly blind men have their sight back. 4) a seriously hurting person is delivered and can now speak.  

Now what does this mean to me.
The Proof is the pudding.  Just look and see the good around you.  Do not listen to the Negative Nellies of this world who put their unhappy spin on the reality of the situation.  Determine for yourself is the pudding tastes good or not.

Do not presume anything.  Often I hear of peoples well meaning friends who say that "that request is too small or too big for God". (As if anything is somehow out of his reach!). It would seem that the best way of finding out is to "just ask".

There are so many scriptures that encourage asking.
My two favourites are;
"You have not because you ask not".  James 4:2
"Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you".  Matt 7:7,8

So don't presume the outcome.  Ask and you will find out soon enough.
My concern is that people talk themselves out of things and therefore never get to see if God is real.
He really cares about your "small things"!
