Today we will be talking about seeing God in the unlikely place of the silent. Yes, God shows up in the silence not that God is silent but that we are silent. According to Exodus 14:14 ESV, all we need to do is be silent and He will fight for me. The Lord will fight for you, and you only have to be silent." (The verse). another example of this is found in Zechariah 2:13 (ASV) which says Be silent, all flesh before Jehovah: for he is waked up out of his holy habitation. We often talk so much to God, that He can't get in a word edgewise. There is power in the silence. A conversation is a two-way kind of thing, it takes two to have one. If you are just the one talking it is just you talking not a conversation. I have talked about this before, but I think this is so important to bring up here.
Throughout scripture, God wants to hear from us and there are many scriptures to back that up but there are few that people were silent. Why is that I do not know. But I can say that the devil does not want us to hear from God. so we need to do as the verse says in James 4:7 (ESV), Submit yourselves therefore God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. So be silent today, listen for God, and tell the devil I am for God and want to listen for Him.
Pray and clear your mind and listen for God!!!! Today's message is short because taking time to listen for God takes time...
