miracle working God ( by Fenny West )

Meaning & Inspiration

Listening to this, my mind immediately jumps to that moment in Hebrews where the writer insists that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It feels so grounded in that idea. When the song mentions Him walking on water or feeding the thousands, it’s not just listing cool stories from the Gospels. It feels like a way of trying to grab hold of the reality that the power displayed back then isn't some distant historical fact. It’s supposed to be right here, right now.

But I’m left sitting here wondering about the focus. There’s a lot of weight placed on the "miracle-working" aspect, and while that is absolutely part of who He is—I mean, raising Lazarus is about as clear as it gets regarding His authority over life and death—I have to ask myself if I’m just looking for the wonders or if I’m looking at the Giver of the wonders. Sometimes I get caught up in wanting the "Alpha and Omega" to fix the immediate mess in front of me, which He definitely does in Scripture. Yet, the song shifts at the end to the washing away of sins, which feels like the biggest miracle of all. That’s the part that sticks in my gut. Is it easier for me to praise Him for the bread and the healing than it is to actually rest in the fact that He took away the burden of my own sin?

It’s interesting because the lyrics keep circling back to Him being the beginning and the end. If He’s the Alpha and the Omega, that means my current struggle or even my current victory is just a small piece of something much bigger. It makes me question if I’m treating Him like a tool for miracles or if I’m actually seeing Him as the beginning and the end of my very existence. The song hits that point about Him being alive, and it makes me wonder if I really live like I believe He is still active, or if I’ve just relegated those old stories to a dusty book while I try to handle everything else on my own. It leaves me feeling a bit exposed, honestly. I wonder if I’m actually looking for the God of the Bible or just a God who makes my life easier.
