Read the Sign You Have!

Matthew 12:39

Matthew 12:38-45; 16:1-4

When might I be stipulating some sort of special sign just for me?

Do I consider repentance something to which I need to be open?

How far would I go to find wisdom, instruction, direction, and discernment?

How far do I go?

When I “clean house” of the bad in my life, with what good do I replace it?

Does the sign of the prophet Jonas count for anything with me?

Or has the resurrection of Jesus become mere history to me?

Does God provide any other signs for the disciples of Jesus?

Yeah. You!

And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

“Make his paths straight” (Matthew 3:3) — Is that part of my calling today?

If so, how is that done?

Will I accept (without complaint or self-pity) the discomforts of the wilderness?

How do I overcome the fear of man which causes compromising of the message?

What has repentance produced in the garden of my life?

Is it possible God has purging to do in my life?
