Miracles & The Wisdom To See Them.

Ahh… wisdom, sweet wisdom. Funny thing about it—if you think you have it all figured out, you probably don’t. In my life, it’s only been in hindsight that I’ve seen the slow, steady progression of gaining wisdom in choices, boundaries, and decisions. I’ve learned that wisdom isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about recognizing how much you don’t know and letting God reveal things in His time. And one thing God has continually brought to my attention is this: miracles.

Now, don’t laugh too hard at this, because I’m sure I’m not alone here—but I used to wait in expectation for big, bold miracles. You know, total healings, unexpected money we so desperately needed to appear in our account, or maybe even a blueprint of how my life would go. Just a peek into what was coming would’ve been nice! For years, I wondered if miracles even happened anymore. I prayed and waited, but when nothing happened the way I imagined, I thought maybe God wasn’t moving like He used to.

But, as you probably guessed, I had a lot more to learn. I needed more prayer, more time in the Word, and a shift in perspective. The past few years have taught me that miracles do exist and wisdom does come—but not always how we expect. Sometimes, it’s in looking back that we see the real miracles, hidden in the ordinary moments of our journey, woven into the hardest chapters.

A few years ago, my mind completely broke. I sat in torment, wondering how I could make it through another day. Each night, I whispered to myself, “I survived.” I prayed for a miracle—a total healing, something dramatic to end my suffering. I fought, read my Bible, begged God for rescue. But here’s the thing: I had things I needed to let go of. There were deep wounds I had to face, trauma that had held me captive for far too long. I needed to gain wisdom about what it meant to fight, to trust, and to truly live.

It was a long, painful journey, but through it all, God sent the resources I needed. He showed me that, like a tree needing pruning to grow stronger, my mind could be broken down and rebuilt. Slowly, painfully, but surely, renewal came. I had to partner with God in this miracle, a miracle I never saw coming.

He didn’t give me instant healing or a roadmap, but He gave me something more valuable—wisdom. He showed me that sometimes, the miracle is in the breaking and rebuilding. It’s in the strength we discover when we’re pushed beyond our limits. It’s in the growth that comes after we’ve been pruned. Wisdom taught me that miracles are rarely what we expect, but they’re always what we need. And when we walk hand in hand with God, we see them unfold in ways we couldn’t have imagined.

Now, don’t get me wrong—I absolutely believe in miraculous, instant healing. I believe God works like that every day. I believe prayers are answered, and we have such power to stand in the gap for others. That’s faith, that’s prayer—and knowing that is wisdom in itself.

This understanding goes for so many other parts of my life too. I’ve had to make healthier choices for a body that’s been through a lot—learning about natural medicines, exploring alternative therapies. I look back now and see how God was guiding me toward better decisions, giving me the wisdom to understand why those choices matter. So, why am I talking about miracles and wisdom together? Because sometimes, when we’re focused only on the miraculous, we miss what God is really trying to do.

He partners with us. He offers grace when we don’t quite catch on to the lessons He’s teaching. He longs to impart wisdom in small doses and teach us how to fight battles, slay giants, and love like Him. For me, I want to look at each day—no matter how hard or peaceful—and see that the life He’s gifted me is a miracle in itself. Sometimes, the greatest miracle is simply the journey, the growth, and the wisdom gained along the way.

And as the book of James reminds us: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” (James 1:5)

So, whether we’re seeking wisdom or waiting for a miracle, let’s never forget that God is always at work, often in ways we can’t see. Sometimes, the miracle is already happening—we just need the wisdom to see it.
