Good morning people who connect with the God of the impossible.
Exodus 4:1-5 NIV Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?” Then the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied. The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. Then the Lord said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. “This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”
The purpose of signs is so that people believe in the Lord and what He is doing.
Signs are not for entertainment. They are not so that people are amazed. If they don’t result in people putting their faith in God, something is wrong.
Matthew 11:20 NIV Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
While a sign and a miracle are different, they are both the supernatural working of God. Signs, wonders and miracles all have a common purpose – to point people to the God of the impossible.
