Luke 11:29-32

The crowds got even bigger, and Jesus addressed them:

‘This is a wicked generation; it is asking for a sign. The only sign it will be given is the sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

I thought the bigger crowds meant his message was finally breaking through. But Jesus saw all through that, there was no love connection, they wanted a sign. Do something extraordinary then we will believe. But if they cannot find God in the small matters running to Jesus for the big things will not work. It is easier to recognize the big blessings when you have been recognizing the small ones all along. I was thinking this past Sunday and I asked myself this question. What did it take for me to be here now? Things had to line up perfectly, the conditions had to be right for the arrival to happen. You may have no idea how many pieces had to be moved around to have you HERE. Blessed are those who know.
