Did you see the sign?

Have you ever had signs to tell you that something was not as it seemed?

One day last week I had a few signs. I had a sinus headache.  It was the beginning of the day and my head hurt like there was a jackhammer on top of it. This headache was the type where when you lean over, it feels like you will explode. "ouch" I whimpered. I needed something or there would be no way that I could teach. Just then I remembered that I had put a new bottle of Advil pain reliever in my purse.  I reached into my purse, opened the bottle, placed two tablets in my hand and thought, "hmm these look different, when did they make them blue"? (sign #1) 

I went about my teaching schedule but  soon I did not feel on top of my game.  "Wow, I really feel woozy", It began to be difficult to keep my eyes open. (sign #2)

I made some coffee and that seemed to help. When school was over I went home and took a nap.  Today I once again I had a headache and reached into my purse to grab the Advil.  This time I took out the bottle and placed it onto my desk.  To my shock and surprise this was my (sign #3).  In front of me was the reason that I was so tired and woozy.  It was Advil PM!

In Numbers 14:11, The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them?

I wonder how often I am oblivious to the many signs that God is giving me?
