Shared by Jan Parris No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11) Often the toughest times in life are those moments when all we know about God doesnt seem to help or get us the results we want. Thats when we learn about His silence. Whenever God doesnt say a word, Hes teaching, even in stillness. Hes allowing us to grow by forcing us to think, study and arrive at conclusions while He stands by like to loving parent He is. Faith comes by hearing, but patience comes by silence. Patience is what God gives you when bad things remain unchanged. Its His sedative for the troubled heart. Its the balm He rubs into your aching muscles when it feels like youre being stretched to breaking point. These are the times when the pain lasts so long that only God can release the patience required - the sheer grace to get you through it. There are great benefits to waiting. For example, if you learn to wait and observe, youll make better choices. The thing you think you cant live without today, you may be glad to live without tomorrow. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. So when God says, wait, trust Him. Either its not what you need at this time, or He has something better in mind for you. You say, But what am I going to do in the meantime? The Bible says, Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. (Ps 27:14). Stop fussing, stop pushing, allow God to work and you will come out of this stronger and with a better result. Stay blessed. Read Isaiah 40:31.
