We often hear that if Hashem were to perform open miracles for us as He did in days of old then we would also serve Hashem as they did. In truth there’s a major error in this excuse for great miracles happen for us every day miracles we cannot perceive with our mortal eyes especially since we’ve grown accustomed to seeing nature in everything even in something that’s nothing short of a miracle. (Darkei Mussar Rav Yaakov Neiman)
“Bye-bye!” We enthusiastically tell our eight-month-old. “Bye-bye” we say again waving a hand before his eyes. The child looks at his hands then hesitantly motions. He did it! Call Grandma! He’s a genius!
We’ve just witnessed a miracle. A vast Divinely orchestrated process — the baby heard the words understood the association with a hand motion wanted to imitate us made the attempt sent messages from the brain to the hand and then did it. A miracle!
Did you see Hashem in that interaction?
How many miracles do you witness every day?
