Miracles are a funny thing in todays society. You have people who simply don't believe in them at all, and people who throw the word around much too easily. When you are going out with your friends to dinner and running late, you might say that, "It's a miracle that I got here in time." On the other side of the coin, someone who found out they had cancer and was cured by chemotherapy and medication might say it was a "miracle" that they got cured. I'm a believer in God and I do believe in miracles, but I think both uses of the term are a little silly.
This passage is interesting-the more faith you have in God the more likely you are to believe that every good thing that happens in your life is somehow the outcome of divine intervention. I don't like that way of thinking, it makes all Christians and believers out to be superstious and very naive. The miracles that this passage talks about might all have other explanations, and we need to be careful how we use the term.
