Silence

got this post from mitch.. she got it from a word 4u today..

"I BEG GOD FOR HELP, BUT THERE IS NO ANSWER" Job 30:20

Here are some lessons we can learn from His silence:

1) SILENCE ISN'T ABSENCE
David said, "I can never escape from your spirit! I can never get away from your presence." (Psalm 139:7 NLT)

You have to be very secure with somebody just to sit quietly with them.
Silence can allow the development of an intimacy where words are no longer necessary.
If you want to be that comfortable around God, then learn to enter into the silence with Him.

2) SILENCE TESTS YOUR TRUST LEVEL
How much trust is actually involved if somebody's coaching your step?
It is like a parent running alongside a child who's learning to ride a bike.
In the early stages the child lacks confidence, but he's going to look strange at 50 if his dad's still trotting along beside him!

3) SILENCE BRINGS YOU TO THAT POINT OF LISTENING TO GOD'S HEART.

[just got this number 3 from ate weng's comment.. hehe what does it say..?]

At some point God take his hands off to see how far you've progressed..

and for a while it'll be a wobbly ride!

But you know what?

It demostrates how far you've come

and definitely doesn't mean He's forgotten you.
