So, today on the radio I heard the song "Signs Signs, Everywhere a Sign" and looked up the video on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLm3HMG8IhM . The reason I'm posting this is that I started the blog to look for signs of God in everyday life, and hearing the song today seems to be confirmation to me that I'm doing the right thing.

So here's an Everyday Sermon:

The song speaks about seeing signs everywhere we go, and I think for some Christians it can be hard to see the signs that God wants us to see, and for others it is easy to look too hard for signs and find ones that don't come from God.  It can be hard to tell the difference between messages from God and messages from humans sometimes, but I think the solution lies in asking yourself if this is what you want to do or what God wants you to do.  What we as humans want to do isn't always the right thing, but it the message is from God, that may not be the easy thing, but it probably is the right one.

God is not always blatant, jumping around trying to get our attention, instead the signs are often much more subtle.  They can be ideas that come into our heads, a sentence in a book or a conversation with a homeless man or woman.  We often miss these subtleties, but, fortunately for us, God is insistent, making sure that we get the message.  Even when we do get the message without God it's easy for us to fail.

So here's the encouragement, look for where God is speaking to you, and know that God will not give up on you when you can't find the sign or have a hard time following through with God's will.  All you have to do is ask for help.
