"Miracles are special interventions, and God does them to dramatically show His love for us, like a dad cleaning his boys' room. But also like that dad, God doesn't do miracles all the time. God expects you and me, not only to pray for miracles, but to be good stewards of the everyday resources He gives us.
His provision often comes through our simply running our lives by His principles; to use everything we have wisely, to maintain what He's provided for you already, to plan wisely, to budget wisely, to stay out of debt, and to make things last. It's interesting that the Lord who so extravagantly provided that miracle lunch is the same Lord who wanted the disciples not to waste anything that was left over. I think God may operate on a principle similar to one I heard in some management training one time: "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."
So, how well are you using what God has already given you? How well are you doing caring for what God has already given you? We can pray for supernatural intervention, and often during our lives God will answer with one of His amazing miracles. But in between, He's watching how well you do with the baskets He's already supplied. He'll always see that you have what you need. It won't always be miracles, but it will always be there."
