When faced with choices and decisions, I often pray and ask for some kind of “sign” to guide my actions. A bolt of lightning or a burning bush would be obvious, but often I don’t see the signs…or I look in my rear-view mirror only to find that I missed them and there’s no U-turn opportunity in sight.
Sometimes, signs are just plain confusing. If I don’t know where I’ve been or where I’m going, how do I know where I’m at right now? That’s how I felt when I spotted this sign at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta:
Other times, the context of the sign can provide unexpected humor. This bait car sign tickled my funny bone because of where it was located: the parking lot of a Cabela’s store. Cabela’s sells all things outdoor: camping and hunting gear – and of course, fishing bait 🙂
And then there are the signs that I don’t know quite how to process. Well, I won’t explain this one…I’d like to see what YOU make of it:
When all the sign hunting gets to be too much, I close my eyes and find peace within. I wait for a source of inspiration to nudge my soul in the direction I need to head.
Sometimes, signs are just something to read, not to live by. It’s comforting to know that since the beginning of time, people have looked for ‘signs’. It’s also reassuring to know that I’m not any blinder than they were 😀
Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me. (Psalm 86:17)
“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?” (Mark 13:4)
Then the Jews demanded of him, “What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?” (John 2:18)
Have a beautiful Sunday!
