Do this. Do that. I want to see this. I know its difficult, but I really need it.
This is how a lot of our prayers sound like. First, we list a few things that we "need". As soon as we finish with our demands, we begin to negotiate a deal. We creat a hypothetical comittment, hoping for a miraculous sign of God.
The jewish leaders asked Jesus for a sign. They were asking The Lord of Lords and the King of Kings to prove himself. Jesus responded by calling them an evil, and faithful generation.(Matthew 16)
We are that generation.
Are you asking for a miracle, for a little insurance. Here is a miracle...Jesus saving sinners through grace.
I am a terrible person. I am a drug addict and an adulterer. I am guilty of fraud, alcohlism, and theivery. I am an orphan. I am despicable. I am a disgrace to the human race that God created. But Jesus chose me. By his blood, by his nail pierced hands, by the crown of thorns that was placed upon his brow, and through his ressurection I am forgiven. He chose us, a sinful nation, over his crown in heaven and gained both. That is Miraculous!
