Numbers 17:8 On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds. 9 Then Moses brought out all the staffs from before the Lord to all the people of Israel. And they looked, and each man took his staff. 10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Put back the staff of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebels, that you may make an end of their grumblings against me, lest they die.” 11 Thus did Moses; as the Lord commanded him, so he did.

I am reminded of Jesus' statement that a wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign.
It seems that God was using signs and wonders to give this rebellious remnant of Israel an opportunity at faith all along. How much more wonderful it is to take God at his word! Certainly a sign of God's power is impressive, but a sign of His Love is the real imperative. We are looking for His love. He is looking for ours.
