Scripture: Mark 8:11-12
"11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. 12 He sighed deeply and said, 'Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it.'"

I feel like the Pharisees lately. I have been asking God where I should go to school, what should I do with this, show me how to do that, etc. I am having a hard time trusting that He is working His plans.
God, help me to trust you and know that your plans are for good and not evil.

Scott--
This very issue has come up in conversation with several guys lately. I keep expecting God to answer my questions with clouds in the sky that spell out exactly what I want to know, and arrows that show me where to go.
But He calls me to KNOW that He has a plan, and that He is working it. It's really a question of faith and trust, knowing that God REALLY IS guiding my path (and quite possibly yours ;-) and that He's expecting me to move IN FAITH knowing that I'll line up with His plan... or that if I 'miss' it that He will honor my faith and get me re-aligned properly.
It's also important to remember that sometimes He speaks in a "soft, quiet voice" (I've even heard it translated "silence") and that even when we "listen" and listen HARD we're distracted or (unintentionally) unfocused.
The music really is all around us... but sometimes we just have to have faith about that, 'cause it's hard to hear.
I'm praying for you, my friend!
