Signs

Have you ever wondered if some odd moment or event might be a sign from God? Do you look for signs in your life? Have you ever asked God for a sign?

This topic arose this evening while talking with my 17 year old son. He suggested I do something specific to rectify a situation that has my whole family in turmoil. Truly, taking action to bring comfort to our family is a good thing. The problem is, the action could hurt someone else.

To complicate matter more, the person who could get hurt is someone who has caused pain to those I love. So the dilemma I face is whether any action I take is to make right a wrong or is it really my hidden desire for revenge? Thus, I have asked for a sign that will point me in the right direction.

Deep inside, I really believe that the sign will be no sign at all. I think God will deal with this situation without any input from me. But I will still be watching. I’ll be alert so that if there is a sign, I will not miss it. I have a feeling that just being alert will open my eyes to all kinds of other signs and messages that God is sending.
