Topic: Silence of God -Part2
Bible Verse: 2Peter 3:9 " _The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance_ " ESV
Message: Many times we mistake the silence of God as He is not working. But God expects certain things from us when we are not able to hear His voice or feel His presence. Firstly, check for ways in our life not pleasing to God (Psalms 139:24). Godly sorrow brings repentance (Song of Songs 3:1-3 & 2 Corinthians 7:10). Beware of false preachers and worshippers who don't lead to true solution but say peace when there are actual wounds to be healed (Jeremiah 6:14 & Ezekiel 13:10). Secondly, never give up prayer . Wait till we hear from God. Learn from lives of Job, Daniel & Elijah (1Kings 18:41-46, Daniel 9:2-4). Finally, stand on God's calling, propose & teachings by trusting the reward He has promised. Learn from Jesus who stood on God's Will even when there was silence & no reply when He endured pain on Cross (Psalms 22:1,2 & Hebrews 12:2). God bless you
Prayer: Dear Lord help us to understand the silent times and stand in Faith always. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
