Topic: Silence of God
Bible Verse : 1Samuel 28:6 "And when Saul inquired of the Lord , the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets"
Message : Our God listens to our prayers and speaks to us back through His Word, servants, dreams & many more ways (Job 33:14,15). But when God remain silent we become impatient & start acting on our fleshly dreams thoughts or words of our favoured people (Ezekiel 13:6-8). Why is God silent? Firstly, when we have disobeyed or fallen to sinful ways there is a silence until we are willing to humble & repent (Matthew 15:22-28). Secondly, if we had asked without proper understanding or if it's God's will for us not to know certain things then there is a silence (Romans 12:3, Matthew 20:21,22 & Acts 1:7). After praying trust in God's time like Hannah. Finally, God is silent until the appointed time of accomplishment of His Will (John 2:4 & Revelation 6:10,11). In these times God gives us comfort & strength to wait. God bless you
Prayer : Dear Lord help us to understand your silence and submit to your will. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen.
