Are you waiting on God to do a miracle in your life? In today’s message from Luke 1, we’ll see how sometimes the miracles we’re looking for are already happening in ways we don’t expect. We often focus on the big, dramatic moments while God is at work in the small, everyday things too—revealing His bigger plan.
