Why do we challenge the Lord to show himself to us in deeds and miracles?
John 4:46 - 4:49
..John Chapter 4
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Why do we challenge the Lord to show himself to us in deeds and miracles?
We do this because he wants us to . He knows that we are weak and need reassurance. In particular he wants to talk with you through your prayers and the answering of these. I have found that when I truly pray with all my heart the Lord answers this and I know he answers. Your prayer maybe for health concerns and it may take a day but all of a sudden your health concern is gone and you have no logical reason for it. Or you pray for a financial issue and suddenly a bill is taken care of in some way that would never happen in your wildest dreams.This is Jesus letting you know he is still taking care of you and to have faith. Faith is the hardest thing all of us do and it is essential to that personal relationship with the Lord. I have heard survivors of fires and accidents say to me , I just prayed to God and gave it over to him and waited to die or live which ever he decided. They then walk away from a certain death situation. The Lord heard them and did what he does everyday and cared for them. Too many people today think they can control everything, I control nothing , the Lord controls everything. I just know that and trust him to do what is best for me. Do your best with your wordly tools and talents and leave the rest to him that has all the tools and talents and controls the sun and the moon.
God Bless and Have a Great Faithful Week !!!!!!! Chuck
