Have you ever watched those moments, on TV, when someone turns up at a house with an unexpected prize. The recipients have no idea that the knock at the door heralds a huge change of fortune and when they find out they are shocked and elated.
In Luke 5 we hear of healing miracles - people whose life is transformed by miracles. I always wonder what those people did the next day. Were they still pinching themselves, finding their change of fortune hard to believe - did the leper have to keep looking at his clean skin of the paralytic touch his legs?
When things change suddenly it can be hard to adapt - even to good news. But the good news is that we can believe the miracles which God does - we can believe that God is truly at work in our hearts and lives without having to check all the time. But sometimes, when we really think about that fact, that God is truly with us, perhaps we should feel a little more as if we have won a very big prize and act as if we really are excited about it.
