Week 25 - The Journey Day 6
"He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation."" Mark 8:12
Can you hear the depth of Jesus's sigh? Would it be any different today? Would He see belief in the power of God in the world or would He see the lack of? What about with you?

Even His disciples demonstrate their lack of trust in God? "His disciples answered him, "Where can anyone get enough bread to satisfy them here in this deserted place?" Mark 8:4. We live in a world that seeks signs and yet when they are there some still do not see the power of God at work. "Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear? And do you not remember,". Mark 8:18
In all the circumstances in life there is but one constant and that is God. When your world has been turned on it's ear there is but one constant and that is God. When all is well there is but one constant and that is God. If it is signs you are seeking then you have missed the point, Jesus(God), is the sign.
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible." – Stuart Chase
What is God saying to me? My sigh is to make a point, even in their presence they do not see.
Dear Father, I see the simplicity of life as it passes by and You are there keeping all things in order. I see the beauty of life and know You are there. I thank You for this reminder, for the opportunity to sit and watch, to listen to Your sigh and understand that our belief is demonstrated in our actions. Thank You for the lessons these past days, for the canvas being filled in a little bit more. Bless this day and all it has to offer, may we accept what comes our way with grace for You are with us in all of it. Amen.
Mary, Conceived without Sin, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Hope of the Sick, Pray for us.
