All you hear is...silence! Not a peep. Youve prayed. Youve - TopicsExpress



          

All you hear is...silence! Not a peep. Youve prayed. Youve sought godly counsel. Youve asked your friends. Youve asked your family members. Youve even consulted your spouse. Yet, you still hear nothing. Maybe youre trying to get a new job. Maybe you want a new car or a new house. Maybe this guy/gal is the one...or not. Maybe your health is up in the air. Maybe youre trying to expand your family and its not working out like you thought it would. You just need to hear a word from God. Its not that Hes not necessarily speaking...we just have to adjust how we are listening. Sometimes He talks through other people - the messenger. Sometimes the answer is right in front of our faces, but we have on blinders or have in our ear plugs. Or maybe we are distracted by things that add very little value to our daily lives. Other times, Hes just waiting to see how much He hears FROM US. I have several friends who have dealt with church hurt over the years. Theyve felt disappointed, disengaged, unwelcomed, offended, empty, and just plain hurt. With one particular friend I had to just break it down in the most simple terms, When you find peace with a situation and surrender to Him, thats usually when God moves. Pay attention to the little things around you...Hell make himself known. And, HE did make himself known. With another friend, God showed up through her child. It was the child who told the parents - in her small, soft voice - this is the church where we belong. Now they are in fellowship with a church family that had prayed for God to send them help to build their ministries. While they were praying, they were the answer to someone elses prayer! Prayer and the Scriptures are key to hearing what God has to say. God can use anything and anybody to send you a message and to make Himself known. He even used a donkey once! The saying goes, Sometimes when you wonder why you cant hear Gods voice during your trials, remember the teacher is always quiet during the test. I contend that maybe we cant hear Gods voice clearly because were too busy talking...to the wrong person.
