Thank you so much for those engaging meditations!

Funny, We think the Supernatural is not testable.

I would not say that. I would however caution others that the Scriptures say we are not to put God to a foolish test. Nevertheless, Gideon had a fleece.

NIV Psalms 78:41

NIV Malachi 3:10
   Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
 

NIV Romans 12:2
   Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
 

NIV 1 Thessalonians 5:21
   Test everything. Hold on to the good.
 

NIV 1 John 4:1
  Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Nevertheless, Gideon had a fleece.

And the skeptics would argue that religious believers have been getting fleeced ever since then. :-)

Cheers!
