Why?
Why can't they just believe him?
Why did they need a sign?
We are always looking for proof. We like it better when we can see for ourselves before we make decisions. Ever been to consumerreports.org? Someone has tested whatever it is that you are thinking about buying. There is proof that the product either works or doesn't. You now get reviews online for everything from hotel rooms to baby beds. Just yesterday Stacey was looking at beds online and was reading the reviews for this one particular bed…all the reviews she read were positive except for one! Guess what? We aren't buying that bed because someone didn't like it. We want a "sign" that what we are getting is worthy of us having it. One star? No way, give me at least 3.5!
Do we do this with God? I do. Sure, I don't say that I want God to show me a "miraculous sign", I usually say something like "God will open that door if he wants me to do that."
How can I be less like the people in this story and more like Abraham leaving his home not knowing what was ahead?
