A Daily Devotional About the times when God seems
to be silent: Psalms 28:1 To you I call,
O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will
be like those who have gone down to the pit. 2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call
to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your We are all in the same place when we encounter the silence of God. In truth, we all want an audible voice from God. We seldom get His audible voice but we do get His love if we open up our heart to Him. Our heart is the door. He stands at the door of our heart and knocks. God seldom speaks in an audible voice but He always knocks on the door of our heart. When we open the door of our heart, we do not need to hear an audible voice from God. To open the door of our heart we have to put the big "I", "me", and "mine", of our selfish life aside. When the big "I", "me", and "mine" of our selfish life continually dominates our daily life and dominates all our thoughts, the big "I", "me", and "mine", gets stuck in our spiritual ear. Subsequently, we end up being deaf to God. We cannot find God by expecting God to do something for us. We cannot find God by expecting Him to speak to us in an audible voice or appear in a visible manifestation. With God, we gain Him by demanding nothing and surrendering all we have. |
