When our souls are
embittered, when our feelings are hurt,
we may not even
realize you are present with us.
We are like the
Pharisees, who asked
for a sign from
Jesus,
but got none.
Yet you spoke to
David through Nathan;
and in a vision you
spoke to Paul.
Help us discern when
you are speaking to us.

Ps. 73:21-22
When
my soul was embittered,
when I was pricked in heart,
I was stupid and ignorant;
I was like a brute beast toward you.

I was stupid and ignorant;
I was like a brute beast toward you.
2 Sam. 7:8
Now
therefore thus you [Nathan] shall say to my servant David: Thus says the LORD
of hosts: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep to be prince
over my people Israel…

One
night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and
do not be silent; for I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to harm
you, for there are many in this city who are my people."
Mark 8:12
And
[Jesus] sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation ask for
a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will
be given to this generation.”
