DAILY REFLECTION

“You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples” Psalm77:14

He is a living, active, and miracle-working God, intervening in supernatural ways to accomplish what seems impossible.

On November 15, 2023, Hans Schmidt, a 26-year-old pastor from Arizona was shot in the head while boldly preaching on the streets of Glendale. A bullet pierced his left temple, and doctors feared the worst, believing survival was unlikely. He was placed in a medically induced coma and, astonishingly, awoke a month later. Since then, he has undergone intensive speech and occupational therapy, relearning how to walk and speak. Despite lingering bullet fragments that doctors deem too risky to remove, he has resumed his street preaching ministry with renewed purpose, and astonishingly, he has extended forgiveness to the assailant who remains unidentified. His recovery is viewed not merely as a medical marvel but as a direct act of divine intervention. His testimony reminds us that God of the Bible is present and active in our lives - guiding, sustaining, and transforming brokenness into hope.

Psalm 77:14 encourages believers to remember God's past faithfulness in times of uncertainty. Reflecting on God's past actions rekindles faith, reminding us that the same God who performed miracles in the Bible is still actively working today, guiding, healing, and demonstrating His power to those who trust Him.

“Hope is praying for rain, but faith is bringing an umbrella.”
