Video of the Day: Clip from the series “Joan of Arcadia”
Bible Verse of the Day:
By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”[a] For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him, Hebrews 11:5-6.
Biblical Connection:
After her older is paralyzed following a car accident, Joan makes an offhand remark about walking. This leads to a verbal altercation with Kevin. As Joan’s junior year of high school begins, the Lord begins to reveal Himself through other people like the little girl at this playground. Joan is so upset that she pleads with God to perform a miracle to allow her brother Kevin to walk again.
According to the Bible, only Elijah and Enoch are the only 2 human beings on earth not to experience death. Perhaps, this is what the God character in Joan of Arcadia refers to when talking about playing by the rules. God isn’t a magical Jeanie that snaps His fingers whenever He wants to perform miracles. Rather, miracles occur inside the rules when belief and faith coexist.
Closing Song:
Part of prayer is weaving God’s will into God’s perfect timing. Outside of belief, confidence and faith, things happen in God’s timing. Yet, human beings still long for the Lord to perform a miracle in their life or a life of their loved ones.
