Give me a Sign
Scripture: Mark
8:11-13

The Pharisees showed up and began to
argue with Jesus. To test him, they
asked for sign from heaven. Mark 8:11
This passage happens right after Jesus has multiplied
seven loaves and few fish to feed 4,000 people and the Pharisees ask for
another sign. The passage says that
Jesus grew impatient and I really can’t blame him. He just did something AMAZING and they want
more?
And he really didn’t do it to prove anything, he
multiplied the loaves and fish because he had compassion on the crowd. Yet the Pharisees need more proof.
Sometimes I wonder if God gets tired of our lack of
faith and need of proof.
I hope not, I tend to believe that God’s patience is infinitely
greater than my own and that God can see the growth in my life that I tend to
discount when I am needing proof to move forward into following Christ when
life gets difficult.
Do you require proof to believe?
Prayer: God
please help me to be patient with myself and my own spiritual growth. Remind me that you are always present with
me. Amen.
