Week 7: Recipe for Miracles

“And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

“And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

“And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.” (Matthew 8:2-4)

                This story of the leper contains the simple recipe for miracles. He first came to Christ, worshipping Him. Then he was submissive by saying, “Lord if thou wilt…” And finally, He exercised great faith in Jesus Christ and His power. Miracles are just as real today as they were back then. Sometimes we feel like we aren’t being heard or things aren’t going our way. But Heavenly Father is just waiting for us to do our little part so He can work miracles in our lives. When we come worshipping by living the gospel, reading our scriptures, praying and keeping the commandments, we are doing our part. We become submissive, and trust in Heavenly Father’s will for our lives. And finally, we exercise faith. In other words, we act. We seek, knock and find. Miracles have and always will be a part of The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
