Are you waiting for a sign from God?

Gideon said to God, "If you will save Israel by my hand as you have promised-look, I will place a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said."

Judges 6:36-37

After reading this particular verse, it is like a wake up call from God. Have you ever been in a situation whereby you put God into a test. It might not be something as big as saving Israel but the little things that we did  but we are unaware of it. Okay, you might not get what I'm trying to say, let me put it this way, have any of you felt like you are standing at the crossroad when God asked you to do something but you are still waiting for proof or a sign?

Like Gideon, God comes to him several times and tells him what he wants him to do. But Gideon like many of us nowadays still asked from God a sign or reassurance that what God asked him to do is really what God wants him to do. Most of the time, the action of demanding for signs come out of fear and fear is something that is not of God. As a child of God, we should not have any question that following the word of God is the right direction for our lives.

We have to always reflect on our actions so that we will not do something that put God to some kind of test like making him perform a miracle sign in front of you to prove Himself to you. In fact, the only sign we all really need is the sign of his Word. Whatever that is stated in the his Word is true and doesn't need more proof. Therefore, if God is asking us as his children to do something through his word then we have to do it immediately. I really like this quote from Hayley Dimarco, "To demand some kind of a sign first cheapens the word of God."
