Chasing 23- Is God Silent!?

Chasing 23

So better late than never... It’s been a couple months since my last devotional! Ready or not here I come :) It does tie well into the title of this devotional...

Ever feel like God is silent?

“Saul knew to wait on Samuel, but he didn’t. He knew to go to war but he didn’t. It wasn’t because God’s will was so difficult to understand that he kept missing his divine moments. It was simply because he chose not to trust God and act on His word. Don’t miss the point: God has not remained silent. He has spoken both through the Word , who has walked among us, and His Word that He has written to guide us. The adventure begins here. Live out what God has already spoken, and you will not find God silent.”
Chasing Daylight pg.212-213

REFLECTION:
Are any of you at a place right now where you are longing to hear the voice of the Lord? You may be at a major crossroad, you may have serious questions or you may just need God to give you a big kiss or hug for the more “manly men” amongst us.

I have three suggestions:

I always say... Don’t forget the last thing God spoke to you. What were his last marching orders He gave you? Have those changed in any way or do you simply need a reminder and re-gathering of your strength and faith to pick up your sword again?

Don’t forget God has already spoken through the Word which is living and active! Dig in, it should keep you busy for a couple lifetimes!  

Don’t forget Jesus left earth to send the Holy Spirit who lives in and through our lives. There are people around us speaking the very words of God directly to us. Can you hear Him, are you listening?


GOD lead us to your voice! Amen.

Blessings,
Rob
