Putting Things Right

As I have been thinking about kingdom signs, it came to me that what happens if I don't see any signs, does that mean God is not here! I started to panic, hey I'm going to have blank spots on my blog. But then it dawned on me that God can be active in many different ways, not always in activities but sometimes in the thoughts you think, or through a passage from his Word.

I was reading Matt 11:2-6 and it really spoke to me about some signs that we should see when we are living in the Kingdom places. The Spirit should be active; there should be a close link between the presence of the kingdom and the activity of the Spirit.
If some one said to me, "show me the kingdom of God", what would I say or what could I show them? It's not just full churches or 'right living' believers, its' not Christians saying "I love you".
I need to be able to show them that love, show them what that 'right living' means to them. Which ever way you read the passage above; either literal or spiritually, there is something happening, people are being affected by the Spirit.

I was also praying the other morning, praying for success in my business but then I began thinking about the many great believers all round the place that pray for God to bless them too. Does God always give them blessings; many of them are fighting for their lives, suffering extreme physical pain, have no hope for even shelter over their heads. Here am I praying for business success! Where is God in this context, is it legitimate for me to pray my prayer?

A friend of ours whom owns a very successful business, recently had some kind of heart surgery only to suffer a stroke and was unable to communicate properly. She had some Aussie surgeons come over and they preformed some special surgery on her today, life saving I think and the latest news is that she has come through okay. She is a believer. So another sign of the Kingdom after all!
