The Rebbe on Miracles
By zevi770 · January 19, 2012
Miracles are happening around us every moment.
Life itself is a miracle; consider the sheer wonder of human birth.
In fact, we do often refer to birth as a miracle, why then do we so easily forget that every person on earth is the product of a miracle?
Since we are so distracted by the daily struggle to survive by our responsibilities and obligations we tend to ignore the miracles around us.
The very noise of life drowns out the underlying sound of what should be most real to us.
It is not that we don’t believe in miracles; we simply stop taking the time to appreciate them.
To see a miracle means to appreciate the uncommon within the common, the extraordinary within the ordinary.
When you can recognize the extraordinary within the ordinary, supernatural occurrences are not that impressive to you.
Your faith – and life – is not dependent on such miracles, for you have a mature relationship with a reality that is higher than yourself, and you realize that the ultimate miracle is our very existence.
Just contemplate the awesome design and balance within any one family of the animal, vegetable or mineral kingdom, to say nothing of the beauty of the human body or the elegance of the solar system.
The Divine miracles of nature are not to be found in its once in a lifetime event, but in its relentless regularity.
Whereas every creation of man is ephemeral every part of nature is boundless, permanent, and inexplicable – in a word miraculous.
