"If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul."
Deuteronomy 13:1-3
It is interesting here that it talks about prophets and signs and wonders that are trying to lead us away from God. We read elsewhere about things that will tempt even the elect, and false prophets predicting things that actually happen seems to fit that description. :) I think it also illustrates how dangerous it is to ask for a sign, because if our trust is in signs rather than God, we could easily go astray.
Today, let's make sure we are putting God first rather than just trusting in things that seem impressive or supernatural. As we trust in our Father in Heaven, he will guide us to be able to see through the increasing confusion between truth and falsehood in the world.
