Silence

This is one of my favorite writings because it is so true in my life.

I believe in the sun,
even when it is not shining.

I believe in love,
even when I do not feel it.

I believe in God,
even when He is silent.

How many times in my life have I asked God to say something to me as to what I should do. I’ve asked Him to even write it on the wall like He did in the Old Testament, Maybe even whisper clear direction.

While there has never been an audible direction to me, there have been times of clarity as I read my Bible and the words are just for me. The wise words of counsel from a family member or a dear friend.

I’m sure we have all felt that seemingly silence from God. That ” I wish He would just tell me what to do”. With tears streaming down my face I realize that “I am not in control but I am dearly loved by the One who is”. So in reality I want to control all things in my life, and when God isn’t doing it my way I find Him to be silent. When He really isn’t silent He’s working on my behalf I just don’t know exactly what it is. I must trust!

Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God.
