"You are the God who performs miracles; You display Your power among the peoples."
Psalm 77:14

I vividly remember a testimony shared by a Malaysian missionary serving in a remote village in China. His living conditions were extremely humble. His sleeping quarters were separated from a pigsty by only a thin wooden partition, while the toilet was located about a hundred metres downhill, beside a foul waste pond.

One cold, moonless night, as he cautiously made his way to the toilet, he suddenly slipped and began sliding helplessly toward the filthy pond. In that terrifying moment, he was utterly powerless to stop himself. Yet, in God’s perfect providence, a large boulder at the edge of the pond stopped his fall, sparing him from what could have been a serious and humiliating accident. Standing there, shaken but unharmed, he realised that what seemed like an ordinary rock had become an extraordinary instrument of God’s protecting hand.

His testimony beautifully echoes the truth of Psalm 77:14: "You are the God who performs miracles; You display Your power among the peoples." 

We often associate miracles with dramatic events such as the parting of the Red Sea, the healing of the sick, or the raising of the dead. Yet many of God’s miracles are far quieter and often go unnoticed. They are seen in His unseen protection, His timely guidance, His unexpected provision, and His faithful presence in the ordinary moments of our lives. 

Psalm 77 reminds us that the God who performed wonders for His people throughout history has not changed. He remains sovereign over every circumstance, faithfully working all things together for the good of those who love Him. Even when we cannot see His hand, we can trust His heart, knowing that He is accomplishing His perfect purposes in our lives.

“Yesterday’s miracles become today’s confidence and tomorrow’s hope.”
