Silence and Trust

Oh the quietness of God? In times where it seems God is not saying one word! Where is he? What is really going on? Oh the questions just continue popping out!! As we struggle to understand,where God is and what he's doing! It's a hard and tough situation for sure,but even in God's Silence we must Trust him.Because first of all he is God,then as we learn from his word "Great is His Faithfulness"! I've been saved since 1972 and I've learned to trust God,even when I cannot hear a word from him.I've learned that God's love will carry me through the Silence.God is so good and so awesome,and the more I learn about him from his word,the more I love and trust him.I know that even when he is Silent,he is yet thinking of me. Oh yes,God thinks of us more often than the sand around the ocean,that's our time and his! God will never forget us! In times of Silence God's words brings much comfort,for we learn how he cared for our ancestors and he will do the same for us. Oh God taught me that  EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ME,WHAT I PROMISED YOU IS STILL TRUE!!! Trust God even when he is Silent,for his plans and purpose are intact at all times,and we should also remember one of my favorite scriptures  :  

55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.


 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, or your ways my ways, says the Lord.

55:9  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH,JUST REMEMBER ALL OF GOD'S PROMISES ARE STILL TRUE,EVEN THOUGH HE IS SILENT.GOD HAS "NOT FORGOTTEN YOU"!!!

The Tempter

It's amazing the things that satan offers us even now satan is using old tricks.Why?  Because they've worked for years,since Adam & Eve satan has been calling God a liar.So when he shows up we must recognize him for what he really is,the father of lies. Satans tactics haven't changed he still tempts us,by calling God a lie,he whispers lies to us and if we are not careful,he will lead us farther and farther away from God.Our Heavenly Father is the real help we need,and we must run to him and not from him,but in times of crisis we continue to run away.While all the time the lies are being whispered to us,oh satan whispers he says,that cannot not happen or that want be done.So you might as well do it this way,and for sure satan's ways "Never" please God.God has taught us that he is the destroyer,murderer,and kidnapper all of these tactics he uses well.But as we learn who we are in Christ and keep praying and trying our best to obey,we will live the abundant life here,that God has promised us.God is aware of ever trick that satan brings our way,but it is our job to resist him with all that is in us.God has said obedience is better than sacrifice,even in small things obedience is better.We learn from gaining victory over the small things,to trust God when the bottom seems to drop out. And these days are filled with much to cause us fear,and you can believe satan is right in the midst of it all.We have a Father that cares for us and he has promised to never leave us,but he expects us to trust in him,and to stop going along with the liars whispers into disobedience.I praise and thank God that he is always thinking about me,for his word says he thinks of me more often than   the sand around the seashore.God loves you greatly and deeply!!

Helpful scripture: John 14:1,6   John 8:44  John 6:37    John10:10  The thief comes to steal,kill and destroy. I have come that they might have life,life in all it's fullness.
