At some point in our Christian walk we experience this moment: the silence of God.
It happens that we often don’t understand this moment. We want to find reasons for this.
The silence that is not silence
Have you ever stopped to think that maybe this silence isn’t quite a silence? We can often be out of “in tune” with God and what does that mean?
It means that many times we may have drifted away and God is not really silent, on the contrary, maybe He is talking repeatedly and we just didn’t pay the necessary attention. And how to change it?
That is simple! Try to cultivate a deeper relationship with God. Don’t just read the Word, but examine it, pray without ceasing, fast, all of these, bring us closer to Him.
The silence of waiting
In Jeremiah it is told of a potter who molds his jar according to his will.
It is common knowledge that this jar is you and me, molded by the Lord. And there is a time in the preparation of the jar when it is placed in the oven, so that the heat makes the clay hard enough.
This is the moment of waiting, the moment that God is preparing us for effective use, when we have already been molded and now we just need that moment of waiting, which is often not easy, but bearable.
Conclusion
Have you ever been through the moment of silence? In which type? May we not give up when that moment comes, but keep persisting, praying, and seeking God with all our hearts.
God bless,
Ana.
