The Proof Is In The... - Ex. 18:11; Acts 3:12

"I know now that the Lord is greater than all other Gods , because his people have escaped from the proud and cruel Egyptians." Ex. 18:11

"What is so astounding about this? And why look at us as though we made this man walk by our own power and godliness?" Acts 3:12

Jethro's response is ALL God is ever looking for. A recognition of who he is, and a turning of the heart towards him. Throughout history, through today, and until his kingdom is reestablished here on earth, this has been his only purpose for the signs, wonders and miracles--proof that he IS God. For whatever reason, though, man is a hard one to convince, as Peter finds once again in Acts. This was hardly the first miracle that these people had heard about, or possibly even seen. Yet they seem more apt to attribute it to man than to God--and so the same trend continues today. It seems what started in the Garden so long ago, won't end until Jesus comes again.

Jesus, please forgive me for being SO worldly, SO skeptical, SO human. Thank you for never changing.
