SOMETIMES GOD IS SILENT
SOMETIMES GOD IS SILENT
Matthew 15:23 “Jesus did not answer a word.”
Zephaniah 3:17
“The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
How many times in our lives have we wanted to hear the voice of Jesus giving us advice, pouring out wisdom, showing us direction, pointing us towards the right path, only to not hear anything but silence?
Have you ever met someone who had such an intimate relationship, and so completely trusted in God, that they did depend on a voice?
God’s love is silent because He loves us beyond the power of words to express it and beyond understanding of the human heart.
God is also silent for our sakes – so that we can learn to love and trust Him with pure, spontaneous responses.
Its in those moments and mysteries of silence that we love God with everything in us, and in those moments He still does like Exodus 34 says, “wonders never before done.”
