Looking for a Sign While Living in Rebellion – Devotional on Matthew 16:4

The Pharisees demanded a sign from Jesus, but He called it out for what it was—spiritual adultery. They wanted God to keep proving Himself while their hearts remained far from Him. And then… Jesus walked away.

That same temptation still hits us today. We say, “God, give me a sign,” while ignoring the conviction He’s already placed in our hearts. We chase proof instead of practicing obedience. We want God’s blessings but not His Lordship.

In this devotional, we’ll unpack what it means to stop demanding signs and start surrendering to the only sign that matters—the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Reflection Question:
Have you ever asked God for a sign while ignoring what He’s already shown you or convicted you about? What areas of your life reveal divided loyalty?

Daily Challenge:
Spend 10 minutes in stillness before God. Ask the Spirit to reveal anything you’ve been idolizing or any conditions you’ve placed on your obedience. Confess it. Surrender it. And instead of asking for another sign, thank Him for the resurrection—the ultimate proof of His love.
