Day 335 God Is an Unchanging God of Miracles

In Matthew 5:13, Jesus tells his followers that they are the salt of the earth, and in the same sentence offers a warning that savorless salt is good for nothing. Join me in an attempt to be savory salt as I share each day one verse of scripture and one small thought. Perhaps this small daily emphasis can lead to greater savor in your life and ultimately you and I can be savory salt.

Hello, my friends and family, wherever you're listening from. Thank you for joining me and know that I'm cheering for your every success. “Has the Day of Miracles Ceased?” Welcome to Day 335. Can you believe that?

We've got 30 days left on our 365-day journey through the Book of Mormon together. Today, you're going to be reading Mormon chapter 9. Moroni, talking about miracles, is going to actually include that miracles follow those who believe, and I love that.

I hope you enjoy those few verses there where he talks about, hey, those who believe will experience these types of miracles. I love that part. Today's verse is going to come before that, and it's going to come with Moroni asking us a very interesting question.

If God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then do miracles ever really go away? If he used to do them, does he still do them now? That's a great question.

Let's read Mormon 9:19 together and see. And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles, and yet be an unchangeable being? And behold, I say unto you, he changeth not.

If so, he would cease to be God, and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles. My friends, today's message is short, sweet, and amazing: Believe in a God of miracles! I love the groups of people.

I shared miracles in my life. I talked about them. I shared them inside of some of the episodes in Savory Salt.

Some are very dear to me; I don't talk about them publicly. Some I do share publicly. You heard some of those.

And I want to testify that God still has miracles in our lives today. They are dependent on our faith and our trust, His will, our asking—all of those things. They are all still there.

They are all still dependent on that. But God is a God of miracles. Recently, President Jeffrey R.

Holland testified of this. He talked about his own recovery from being in the hospital. And it was so cool to see.

I don't know if you saw this. I tried to find it. I couldn't find it, but I'm sure it's on social media because that's where he posted it.

But he talked to the Dominican saints, and he said to them, 'My return to this life is no less of a miracle than any healing is recorded in the Old Testament, or the New Testament, or the Book of Mormon, or anywhere else.' And I absolutely love that! Miracles are real. God is real.

God has not changed. If we aren't seeing or expecting or having miracles in our lives, it's an opportunity for us to dig into our trust in God and see what we can do to increase that trust, to find faith in Him, and to seek for more miracles in our lives. I know He will answer those prayers you seek.

That's all for today, my friends. Remember that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass. Keep it small, keep it simple, and always seek to be savory salt. I'll be here tomorrow, and I hope you are too.
