Luke.12:54 He said to the multitudes also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens. 12:55 When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens. 12:56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don't interpret this time? 12:57 Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?

In a farming community, and fishing, life, limb, and daily provision are gained by knowing the times and seasons, reading the sky, knowing the weather, all things effecting the community fleshly life on earth is determined by seasons, and the weather. People become masters at reading the signs, yet, here Christ dealt with people hand picked and trained by God for thousand's years but they could not read spiritual times and season at all!

Psalms 104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

1 Thessalonians 5:1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

Psalms 16:7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

Most had no clue God's Son was among them, most could not hear or understand his words, later they were to take his life by imputing evil into a sinless innocent man. Their lives were not centered around their eternal life, they had not learned that it not by bread alone man lives but by every utterance coming from God YHWH mouth!

Luke 12:24 Consider the ravens: they don't sow, they don't reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!

How does one know a Spirit God without faith? How does one know the seasons and times, how God is working in our life if we have no eyes and ears to see and hear the Spirit? From birth to death flesh flows like a giant river into a sea of muddy waters churning up wickedness it cannot settle down, it not the flesh of man that knows God it is the spirit that we stop churning up badness in our flesh and hear the voice of God.

Mark 4:39 He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Mark 4:41 They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

Run, run, run, to make a living, to entertain ourselves, fight, fight, fight to have our way, but we cannot in our flesh and its push in this life hear the Spirit of God. Do we know the times and season of how God is working in us for our spiritual development, be honest speak truth at least to ourselves? Many Christian's read Christ words here and create one more mystery that they in their own efforts by their flesh mind must unlock by human intellect, but stop and reason please. Christ compares what? The creation weather to God working in us spiritually, both are out of our control rather we understand them or not! They happen despite us, those going to sea simply read the signs, they don't make the weather by personal intellect, yet, Christian's want credit for what is out of their control so they can teach others putting themselves in a position of power and control.

Deuteronomy 13:1 If there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give you a sign or a wonder,
13:2 and the sign or the wonder come to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them; 13:3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your God proves you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Even the simplest person can dress for bad weather without the instruction of some scholar of the bible! The weather effect all humans it part of this life, but do we see that truth of God and his Spirit working in our life? God effect all human life just as importantly as the weather we live with each day. Do we listen, or preach? Do we listen or cram feed ourselves what some religion it telling us is God's will for us? Do we listen, or do we hear only those preaching a season of storms, constant destruction by their prophecy so we cannot live in peace and calmly hear the Spirit speaking too us?

1 Kings 19:12 and after the earthquake a fire; but Yahweh was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 19:13 It was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, there came a voice to him, and said, What are you doing here, Elijah?

Spiritual food depends upon reading the signs of God's Spirit, real food not known by the flesh and its wants and desires. Faith requires as simple basic step and without it, we can never hear God's voice, resting, trusting God that our spiritual life is vastly more important than the needs of this one, do we honestly believe that, do we think God is doing nothing, dropping the ball?

Luke 12:7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

Luke.10:39 She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 10:40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."
10:41 Jesus answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 10:42 but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
