I'm studying for tomorrow's message on the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand, the only miracle of Jesus that is listed in all four gospels. Here is a quote by Augustine marveling at our astonishment in unusual events compared to our blindness to those miracles that are ordinary. I found him, as usual, quite insightful.
"For certainly the government of the whole world is a greater miracle than the satisfying of five thousand men with five loaves; and yet no man wonders at the former; but the latter men wonder at, not because it is greater, but because it is rare. For who even now feeds the whole world, but He who creates the cornfield from a few grains?”
