25 Sep Monarch, Music City, or Moses…Miracles Have Many Moving Parts
“Monarch, Music City, or Moses…miracles have many moving parts.” — me
Amy Melvin provided the inset photo of the Monarch butterfly. It’s the last in a series of snapshots that she took in capturing the insect’s life cycle – the transition from egg to adult. It’s a miraculous metamorphosis. Which doesn’t happen instantaneously but in about three weeks, assuming the weather conditions are warm enough; and the larva doesn’t perish; and the caterpillar survives predators.
NFL fanatics will recall a famous football play that took place on January 8, 2000. It occurred during the final sixteen seconds of the AFC Wild Card playoff game between the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills. Lorenzo Neal received a kickoff; pitched the ball to Frank Wycheck; Wycheck threw a lateral pass across the field to Kevin Dyson; and Dyson ran 75 yards to score an improbable winning touchdown. The play has since been referred to as the Music City Miracle. It wasn’t just one thing but a series of things that happened to produce the phenomenal final score.
Read Exodus 14:19-31 – The Israelites Crossing the Red Sea. If you study the story closely, you will notice that their providential passage actually consisted of lots of little miracles – more than twelve! I’ll say more when I see you.
Be blessed and be a blessing meantime,
Rev. Fredd
