Hebrews 2:4 (NLT) 4 And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose.
Does God gives us signs? I believe that he does.
God teaches us to live by faith and not by site. However, we all have moments of weakness when we when need a little reinforcement that we are on the right path and that everything will be okay because we cannot see the outcome from our vantage point. I am not talking about the miraculous signs in the bible demanding proof of God’s presence, but signs and wonders as a method of interaction with our loving Father.
God wants to communicate with us in a way that we will understand and in forms unique to our individual needs. Quite often the signs are simple and subtle. A sign may come through a message from a person or through animals, music, art and the written word. Have you ever prayed to God about something and then let the bible fall open to a page hoping to see the answer?
Quite often God uses the wonders of nature as a way of communicating with us providing us with signs and reminders of hope of a future and reassurance that he is with us always.
When I am really troubled, I ask God for a rainbow and occasionally I get my wish. Many times it comes simply in the form of light shining through a prism of glass reflecting a colorful display. For one of my friends her sign is a white butterfly and for another friend it is sea birds.
I think that God gives us messages and signs everyday to answer our prayers and concerns, yet most of the time we are blind to them. Truly, we simply need to open our hearts and minds to Him and we will feel God’s presence everyday. What better sign than that?
