God of Miracles

I was at an AOG conference the other week and the speaker was talking about how he was given a car and a promise from God that he would never have to worry about transport - and he has never paid for a car or worried about flights. He wasn't prosperity preaching, just illustrating how God is good, powerful etc etc..

I found myself thinking "God, I know you could get me a car if you wanted. You can do anything, so can I have a car? I'm want a car from you, for free. I know you can!"

A few days later I thought about it again, "God I want a car." and I got this answer...

"Clare, you might want a miracle, a divine act that could only have occurred because of me. But can you handle a whole lifestyle of not only unexplainable blessings but unexplainable requests, tasks, sorrow and calls from me?"

I have to be honest, maybe I don't want a miraculous God as much as I thought. I'm way too comfortable and I don't want to go out on any limbs and walk with a God who is terrifying as well as good. I don't want to be like this, so I'm working on changing my attitude. But what a thing to think about in the meantime..
