1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test Jesus, they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. Then he left them and went away.

 

Those who questioned Jesus were looking for proof, yet they missed what was already before them. They sought signs but failed to recognize the presence of God in their midst.

We, too, can become focused on what we think God should do, and in doing so overlook what He is already doing. Faith invites us to see with open hearts, trusting that God is present even when He does not meet our expectations.

Lord, open our eyes to recognize Your presence and trust Your work among us. Amen.
