art menorca

I don't have a problem with asking God for a sign. I believe God honor's our faith according to the level of our faith. For the Bible does tell us that even if our faith is as small as a mustard seed that is enough to move him to action. If Christ honored the faith of a woman who bled for years with just a superstitious, imperfect, albeit selfish kind of faith, then I don't see any reason why we would think that such requests for signs is dangerous. What Christ does not honor is a request for a sign inorder to ridicule or make fun of him like how others would display a freak in a circus show (cf.: Matt. 8:11-12). I once led several dozens of kids in a youth camp and we were debating on whether to go to a nearby beach from the campsite the next day. We had a tough discussion and finally I asked my more "mature" mentors to pray to God for a sign and they laughed at my suggestion. I asked them to ask God for rain the day we were supposed to go if He does not want us to go. That night on my bed I prayed for a sign. The following day, while it was still dark, the rain started to pour and it went on througout the whole day. After the camp, I heard that the beach we were suppose to go was infested with bandits and terrorists. Praise God for signs!
