day no. 14,706: mundane miracles

Deuteronomy 8:4
Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years.

The deliverance of Israel from Egypt may have been punctuated with extraordinary miracles like the Passover and the parting of the Red Sea, but it also included many ordinary, everyday miracles like clothes that did not wear out and feet that did not get too swollen to continue walking. This means that in those moments where the people of God were crying out for miraculous intervention in the form of fast food or water from rocks, they were, in those very moments, already being ministered to by the daily miracle of clothes that were holding out against the daily grind and feet that bearing up under the weight of walking mile after mile. Some miracles are more mundane than others without being any less miraculous.
