I’ve been thinking about something for a long time now. It’s one of those things that comes up when I’m sitting around with my friends, just talking about life and deep stuff. The question is pretty simple: Where did all the miracles go?
If you look back at the Bible, it feels like God and His angels were everywhere. People were seeing crazy things happen all the time. Seas were opening up, people were being healed instantly, and there was no doubt that God was right there in the middle of it all. But then you look at today, and it feels... quiet.
I’ve spent a lot of time wondering if God and the angels just went into hiding. Did they decide to stop showing up? Or is His presence still here, and we’ve just lost the ability to see it? It’s a topic that usually gets people talking. Some people get curious, some start debating, but for me, it’s mostly about reflection. I really wanted to get to the bottom of why it feels so different now.
We Stopped Keeping the Books
When I look at the stories in the Bible, I notice something. Those people didn't just see things happen; they wrote them down. They were meticulous about it. Every time something meaningful happened, or every time they felt God’s presence, they recorded it. Without those people taking the time to document every miracle and every encounter, we wouldn't even have a Bible to read today.
Think about that for a second. The only reason we know about those ancient miracles is because someone cared enough to write them down so they wouldn't be forgotten.
Today, we do the exact opposite. We are the most "documented" generation in history, but what are we actually recording? We take pictures of our food. We post about our vacations. We record ourselves doing dances or complaining about traffic. We document the mundane, boring parts of life every single day.
But when something happens that feels like God? We just say "wow " and move on. We don’t write it down. We don’t tell our kids about it as a "testimony." We just let the moment fade away.
When I tell people this, some of them get it right away. They realize that maybe the "age of miracles" never ended maybe we just stopped being the scribes. We’ve traded sacred journals for social media feeds. If we don’t document the way God moves in our lives today, then a hundred years from now, people will look back at our time and think God was silent then, too. But He’s not silent. We’re just not taking notes.
Technology is a Blindfold
Another thing that’s been on my mind is how much technology has changed the way we see the world. We live in a world where almost anything seems possible because of science and tech. Because of that, our "awe" is broken.
Back in the day, if someone was dying from a terrible sickness and they suddenly got better after everyone had given up hope, nobody questioned it. They knew it was a miracle. They fell on their knees and thanked God.
Today, if that happens, we have a list of "logical" reasons for it. We talk about the new antibiotics, the skill of the surgeon, the advanced machines in the hospital, or just "good luck." Don’t get me wrong, I think medicine and technology are amazing gifts. But I think they’ve also become a bit of a blindfold.
We’ve become so focused on how things happen that we forget who made them happen. We look at the medicine and say, "The pill fixed me." But we don’t ask who gave the scientist the idea for the pill, or who kept our heart beating when things looked grim. We use technology to explain away God’s hand. Because we can explain the "mechanism," we think we don’t need the "Miracle Maker" anymore. It makes us less attentive. We’ve become so used to "magic" tech that we aren't amazed by anything anymore.
My Own Story: The Dream and the Peace
I can’t speak for everyone, but I can tell you what I’ve seen. I know God is still here because I’ve felt Him. I’ve seen His hand at work in my own life and in the lives of people I know.
I’ve been in situations where things looked really bad dangers that were right in front of me and somehow, I walked away fine. I’ve seen prayers that I thought were "impossible" get answered in ways I never could have planned. Those moments aren't just coincidences to me. They are reminders that God is still active.
But you really have to have faith to see it. It’s a personal connection. When you actually try to get close to Him, you start feeling things that are hard to put into words.
I’ll never forget a dream I had. I found myself in this place that was just... beautiful. There was music playing, but it wasn't like any music I’ve ever heard on a phone or a radio. It was heavenly. The biggest thing was the peace. In this world, we are always worried about something. Our health, our money, our family, our future. We always have this low-level stress.
But in this dream, all of that was gone. Every worry, every bit of pain, every trouble I ever had just vanished. It was like they didn't even exist. I knew right then that I was in the spiritual realm. I didn't want to wake up. I wanted to stay in that peace forever. When I did wake up, I realized that God was giving me a little glimpse. He was showing me that there is so much more than just this physical world we see every day.
We Need to Wake Up
I truly believe that if we want to see more miracles, we have to start paying attention. We have to wake up from the noise of the modern world.
We need to start documenting things again. If you have a moment where you feel God’s presence, write it down in a notebook. If a prayer gets answered, tell someone about it. Don’t just keep it to yourself and let it get buried under a pile of emails and notifications.
We need to build a "modern Bible" of our own lives. We need to leave a trail for the people who come after us so they can see that God was just as active in 2026 as He was thousands of years ago. Our stories can be the thing that gives someone else faith when they are struggling.
The miracles haven't vanished. God hasn't gone into hiding. We’ve just become really good at ignoring Him. We’ve let the noise of technology and the busyness of life drown out the still, small voice. But if you take a second to be quiet, to draw near to Him, and to actually look for His hand in the small things, you’ll realize He’s been there the whole time.
Conclusion: Finding the Unseen
At the end of the day, God’s presence is a choice. We can choose to see the world as just a bunch of random accidents and technology, or we can choose to see the unseen signature of God on everything.
Miracles are happening all around us. They are in the breath we take, the way we heal, and the "coincidences" that save us. We just have to be attentive. Let’s start documenting our experiences. Let’s share our stories. Let’s make sure that the next generation knows that God and His angels are still very much a part of our world.
Don't let the miracles of today go unnoticed. Share them, celebrate them, and write them down. He is still here.
