Well done brother. I enjoyed the dramatic, poetic intro.
I think so many people ask for a sign from God or want to hear from God. It's like, bro, He left you a whole dang book! That's like the biggest sign you could possibly get. He literally spelled out everything you could ever want to know in this book and through the person and life of Jesus.
I still think that God does miraculously work in signs from time to time, but I've learned over the years not to rely so much on the extraordinary. Instead, I recognize that I have the responsibility to search for God in the scriptures.
Another aspect too, that I think is important, is how we read the Bible. When I was younger, I read it more like a fortune cookie. I was trying to figure out how these crazy verses applied to my life, which involved my upcoming algebra test and the fact that the girl I have a crush on is not super interested in me.
Now, as I've aged, I've realized the point is not me. The point is Jesus and His story. It's about how I fit into it, not how He fits into my story. By finding where I fit into His story, I find myself. I understand my place.
