And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. Mark 8:12
These people had seen Jesus feed thousands of people, seen him heal the sick and cast out devils. They had seen this, heard this, witnessed it. And they asked Him for...a sign. Really?! After all that, you don't think you've seen a sign? Crazy, right? But we do the same thing. God works in our lives every day in ways that we miss. We're held up at work unexpectedly only to run into traffic due to an accident we very well could've been in had we not been delayed. God. We miss an opportunity that we really were hoping for only to have a better one we never expected pop up days or hours later. God. We find ourselves in impossible situations only to have the problems inexplicably dematerialize. God. We witness doctors give up on loved ones--or ourselves--only to watch them miraculously recover with zero medical explination. God.
God works in big ways, He works in little way, but He always works. He's constantly giving us signs of His interest and involvement in our lives. Are we missing what's right in front of us?
