In Episode 45 of Daily Devotionals for Nurses, Tola invites listeners to reflect on the danger of depending on repeated signs from God as a prerequisite for obedience. While Gideon asked for signs multiple times, Tola reminds us that our walk with God is not meant to be built on constant confirmations but on faith and trust in His voice.
Drawing from relatable analogies and biblical truth, this episode challenges nurses and believers to examine whether they have unknowingly become addicted to signs, prophecies, or outside voices. Tola shares a heart-stirring illustration of a child repeatedly asking a faithful father for proof that dinner will be served—revealing how mistrust can quietly masquerade as spirituality.
This is a call to mature faith. A call to trust that if God said it, He will do it. Waiting for signs can delay our assignments, weaken our trust, and make us dependent on others to hear God for us. Tola encourages you to deepen your relationship with the Lord so that your confidence flows from knowing His voice, not seeking constant validation.
Key Points:
Why you don’t need multiple signs to obey God
The subtle dangers of seeking signs as a spiritual habit
Real faith is built on trust, not repeated confirmation
Understanding the heart of God as a trustworthy Father
The risk of depending on people rather than knowing God’s voice yourself
Reflection Questions:
Are you delaying obedience while waiting for another word or sign?
Have you become dependent on others to confirm what God has already told you?
Do you trust God enough to move even when there is no external confirmation?
Scripture Focus:
Judges 6:17–24
Final Encouragement:
God does not speak in riddles. He leads with clarity and confirms in love. But He is not obligated to repeat Himself. He is worthy of your trust the first time.
