Should Christians Seek Signs from God?

Should Christians seek signs from God? Interesting question. I think Jesus' response to both the evil-hearted people who demanded for Him to do an on-the-spot miracle to prove His Messiahship as well as Thomas who said he would not believe unless he saw the post-resurrection Jesus in the flesh seem to point to a "no" answer. At least "not as a matter of practice" or "use sparingly if at all".

I think it comes down to motive. What is the reason you are seeking some sort of sign? Why do you say "Lord, if you want me to do x, please let y happen so I'll know for sure"? Is it because you want to discredit Jesus or do you really want what He wants? That's an easy one. But what if you sincerely want to know what God wants but you neglect the Word in the process of your seeking? You keep praying (which is a good thing), but ignore what He has said (which is a bad thing). It seems to me that both good things must happen. We must sincerely seek God in prayer coupled with a deep hunger for His Word that drives us to Scripture as the definitive answer.

That won't give you the answer as to who you should marry or what career to choose, but it will put you in the path of the answer because you will be relying on Jesus, the Wisdom and Power of God (1 Cor. 1:24), for the wisdom and power it takes to find out.
