We all remember fairy stories from our childhood that began "Once up on a time..." What often followed that phrase were tales of princes turned toad and fire-breathing dragons run amok. We knew when we heard, "Once upon a time," we were safely removed from the impending tale, tucked away, as listeners only, looking into the story to watch it unfold. Although you sighed with the princess and flew the heavens with Peter Pan, you knew in your heart that these tales were pure fancy, unreal and meant only to entertain.
Out of practice, we might subconsciously take the same approach towards the historical accounts of the Bible; however, one would be wrong. No story in the Bible from beginning to end, ever began with "Once upon a time." God means us to read them all as "On a day like today..." Everything recorded from Genesis to Revelation is truth. Each character breathed this earth's air, lay under the same stars and felt the burning of the same sun. Each character from giant to Christ, felt hunger and experienced the same realm of emotions we do.
On a day like today, a king won his crown, a vile enemy was destroyed, God received glory. On a day like today, a virgin became a mother, a Savior died for the whole world. On a day like today, the sun was held back so victory might be achieved during daylight. On a day like today, an army of regular people walked around a city waiting in faith for the walls to fall.
Exercise your faith today. Take inspiration from the Word for any miracle you need. On a day like today -- God can write your own incredible story.
