Miracles are generally believed to be occurrences that happen out of the ordinary. They are supposed to be the stuff that make up tales of the unexpected.Some extremists will only use this word to describe happenings that are naturally impossible. They assume that when the impossible happens then a miracle has occurred.But such thoughts are mere imaginations because the fact that the event occurred already is proof that such occurrence is possible!
Many believers in God imagine that miracles are things that happen outside the Laws of Nature.They think it is something brought about arbitrarily by the Almighty in order to demonstrate His omnipotence. Such miracles however are anything but Divine and indeed do not exist! One does not give honour to God by blindly believing that He acts arbitrarily!
Divine Activity is always logical, perfect, consistent, and without faults or gaps. Miracles happen in the usual way but the only difference is that the process of development, which according to earthly conceptions should take a longer time, occurs with such immense rapidity,speed and concentrated power! Miracles also occur when diseases which man regards as incurable are healed. This does not mean that the Natural Laws are overturned but it only shows the deficiencies of present human knowledge. In any case, miracles will never occur outside or contrary to God's firmly established Laws of Nature!
When Christ performed miracles that are quite beyond man's ability this does not justify the thought that He did not need to follow His Father's Will resting in the Laws of Nature, that He reached out beyond them. Even with miracles He acted in complete accordance with the Laws of God, and not arbitrarily!He only proved thereby that He worked in Divine Power, not in spiritual power,and naturally the effects also far surpassed what is possible to men.

We should give thanks to our Creator when here and there He endows some human beings with special powers which they can use for the benefit of suffering humanity.
