[Discoveries] 11-07-07 God's sign to this generation -- Mark 8:12

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*"Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign? I tell you the 
truth, no sign will be given to it." -- Mark 8:12*/

What a balancing act God must maintain!

The clerics asked for a sign. Jesus refused. For, if God should open the 
heavens for even one second, there would be no more atheists, no more 
agnostics, no more followers of false religion. There would only be 
those who love God and those who hate Him.

In every generation people have taunted God, daring Him to act, mocking 
Him when He doesn't. But God ignores them. He knows that their hatred of 
Him would not go away, even if He catered to their dares.

Instead, God confines Himself, most of the time, to the beliefs we hold 
and the choices we make. That is to say, He honors faith and gives us 
opportunity to choose.

What does that mean? That means that you and I are God's sign to this 
generation. When we show up, God shows up, because He works through us.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
