What Are My Signs?

[S] Mark 16:17-18 --
 17"These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;
 18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

[O] These are awesome signs of miracles.  Why is it that my mind is so faithless when it comes to God's miraculous signs working through my life?  As I'm reading this passage I'm thinking that this is for someone else but me.  I seem to lack the faith of a mustard seed (small), in this department and I sense God desiring to expand my faith here such that my mind won't restrict what God can do through my life only if I totally surrender to His glory and power.  In fact, my life could use some miracle these days because it seems like I am being bombarded with tasks without having much margin in my life to enjoy some of the things God placed in my life.

[A] Praise God for His wonderful power.  Praise Him for who He is and what He can  do.  Praise Him that He's already integrated my life into His plans.

[P] Dear Father, I know You love me and want to include me in Your plans.  I want to totally throw my life at You and have You take care of it.  I want to have the message of the Cross written all over my life.  Please continue to uphold my faith and my children's faith such that through the life's journey we would grasp on to Your promises and hope, not of this world's.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
