What examples of God's mighty deeds can we see in our world today? Luke 1:51—His Arm Is Still Active Luke 1:51: “He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.” The same strong arm Mary praised keeps displaying power all around us. Seeing His Mighty Deeds in Transformed Lives - New birth: people turning from addictions, hatred, or despair when they trust Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). - Global harvest: millions coming to faith where the gospel was once unknown (Acts 1:8 fulfilled in today’s missions movement). - Personal holiness: believers gaining victory over sin by the Spirit’s power (Galatians 5:16-24). Seeing His Mighty Deeds in Answered Prayer - Physical healings doctors cannot explain (James 5:16). - Timely provision—jobs, finances, shelter—arriving precisely when needed (Philippians 4:19). - Supernatural guidance: doors opening, plans redirected, hearts nudged, all in line with His Word (Proverbs 3:5-6). Seeing His Mighty Deeds in Creation and Sustaining Power - The fine-tuned order of the cosmos, “upholding all things by the word of His power” (Hebrews 1:3). - Seasonal rhythms that nourish life year after year (Genesis 8:22). - Breathtaking displays—solar eclipses, migrating birds, deep-sea wonders—each fresh evidence of His craftsmanship (Psalm 19:1). Seeing His Mighty Deeds in Judging Pride and Exalting the Humble - Historical downfalls of arrogant regimes, reminding us He “scatters” the proud (Daniel 4:37). - Unlikely leaders raised up from obscurity—missionaries, pastors, public servants—echoing His delight in the lowly (1 Samuel 2:7-8). - Cultural idols exposed and toppled, proving “the Lord reigns” (Psalm 97:1). Seeing His Mighty Deeds in Daily Providence - Protection on the road, in storms, through epidemics (Psalm 121:7-8). - Unity cultivated in divided families and congregations (Ephesians 2:14-16). - Peace and joy that surpass circumstances, a living testimony to His nearness (Philippians 4:7). Living in the Light of His Mighty Deeds - Remember: recount Scripture’s miracles and today’s testimonies to strengthen faith (Psalm 77:11-14). - Rejoice: praise Him for both monumental and quiet interventions (Psalm 98:1). - Rely: step forward in obedience, confident the same arm that split the sea and raised the dead is still at work (Ephesians 1:19-20). |
