Signs

   Signs signs everywhere signs,

  blocking up my scenery,

  breaking up my mind,

  do this don't do that,

  can't you read the signs.

  What a cool kick butt song!  Have you ever thought about how many signs you see daily?

I bet it is hundreds. We are surrounded by them.  There are signs telling us how fast to drive, when to yield, when to stop and what lane slow people are supposed to be in. (I think that is the most ignored one.)

 There are signs on bathroom doors that keep us separated. There are signs that give us directions and tells us when bathrooms and restaurants are ahead. Ok, so you get the point right? Signs are all around us.

  Have you ever, while praying, asked God to give you a sign on something you're praying about? Your ready to do his will, but you second guess him sometimes because the sign he sent you was not as clear as you wanted.   Why do we ask him for proof? Was Jesus not proof enough? Is the sign he is giving you a neon billboard in your front yard, but you don't want to see it because you will have to make some life altering decisions to do his will?

 You know what is funny? Those that lived around Jesus and saw him do miracles asked him for more proof.  Yeah, they saw the man heal the sick or feed the 5 thousand, but they needed more proof.  

 So often our lives will change with a giant leap of faith, or a significant act of service. But in reality it takes most of us baby steps. We do and learn most things in life one step at a time.  But, every step is important. 

 One small step of obedience is a giant step towards God's blessings.

Stay tuned....
