A Craving for Miracles
Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.
A craving for miracles was a symptom of the sickly condition of men's minds in our Lord's day; they refused solid nourishment and longed for mere wonders. The Gospel that they so greatly needed they would not have; the miracles that Jesus did not always choose to give they eagerly demanded. Even today there are many who must see signs and wonders or they will not believe. Some have said in their heart, “I must feel deep horror of soul or I never will believe in Jesus.” But what if you never should feel it, as probably you never will? Will you go to hell out of spite against God because He did not treat you like someone else?
One has said to himself, “If I had a dream, or if I could feel a sudden jolt of something, then I would believe.” You undeserving mortals dream that my Lord is to be dictated to by you! You are beggars at His gate, asking for mercy, and you are drawing up rules and regulations as to how He will give that mercy. Do you think that He will submit to this? My Master has a generous spirit, but He also has a royal heart. He rejects all orders and maintains His sovereignty of action. Why, dear reader, if this is your case, do you crave signs and wonders? Isn't the Gospel its own sign and wonder? Isn't this the miracle of miracles, that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish”? Surely that precious word, “Let the one who desires take the water of life without price”1 and that solemn promise, “Whoever comes to me I will never cast out”2 are better than signs and wonders! A truthful Savior ought to be believed. He is truth itself. Why will you ask the One who cannot lie for proof? The devils themselves declared Him to be the Son of God; will you mistrust Him?

This week, we have thousands of agents participating in our virtual Superstar Retreat. With that being said, I think the following quotes can not only make our attendees’ business and life a little better, but these quotes can make all of our lives and businesses a little better.
A great attitude becomes a great mood, which then becomes a great day, which becomes a great year, which then becomes a great life.
I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often … Brian Tracy
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
Success is not an overnight sensation. It’s when every day, you get a little better than you were before. It all adds up.
- The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who always do … Steve Jobs
- Not every day is good. But there is something good in every day.
If we all do our job every day to the best of our ability, we’ll find something good in every day that we do our job.
