Be Still BY: KB © 1.20.15

It's funny how the Holy Spirit shows up to confirm the word of God. After speaking to someone who was struggling I wrote the motivational blog - Draw Me Near....to help deal with what to do when God seems far away.

So today I open my laptop to do my own daily devotions and the word is "When God is Quiet".
I'm writing this to say that God is never quiet we just need to quiet our hearts and minds to see and hear Him in the stillness.

Psalm 19:1 says “the heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands, day after day they pour forth speech ... ” Creation is continually speaking on behalf of God.

What are you looking to and listening for? If you're looking at man and listening to people who don't know God and his works you're always going to miss the message. If You're listening with a critical ear, bent on  hearing and serving a self-will, you will change God's message...

God took these factors into consideration in communicating with us, this is why we're told to be still and know! There are times of prayer when we need a miracle to come in like the rush of the wind to deliver us from harm but for the most part we are called to sit with and commune with God - "…10 With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your commandments. 11
Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.  12 Blessed are You, O LORD; Teach me Your statutes."  Psalm 119:10-12

Jesus said in Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” When God is silent in your life, maybe He’s growing a hunger in you for the “real” Him. 

What are you hungry for? Does it satiate you?


How ya livin'?!
