How many opportunities has God given you to follow Him? How many times has He sent someone to talk to you about the bible? How many times have you seen the beauty of nature and known in your heart that someone had to be behind it? How many times has your life been spared when an accident was just a hair away? God gives us opportunities to turn to Him but those opportunities will not last forever.

The book, “The One Year Through the Bible Devotional” by David Veerman has a short reading for each day of the year. I took this short excerpt on Matthew 16:1-18:35 from this devotional.

“Miracles never convince skeptical people. They have already committed themselves to disbelief. One more miracle would only compel them to explain it away. Today, many people demand proof of God’s existence or power, but their demands mask the real issue—that they have already chosen not to believe in God. Until we believe that God can do miracles, we won’t even entertain the possibility that something we saw was a miracle. If you doubt Christ because you haven’t “seen a miracle”, ask whether a bona fide miracle would really convince you or just entrench your skepticism. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who believe without seeing me” (John 20:29). Seeing God’s work in your life begins when you simply step forward in faith and believe in Jesus as God’s son and as the only way of salvation.”
