Be Still in His Silence

"Yet His silence is not to be confused with passive agreement or consent. He is simply biding His time and will arise at the most opportune moment...Why did Jesus watch His disciples straining at he oars through the stormy night? Why did He, though unseen by others, watch the sequence of anguishing events unfold in Bethany as Lazarus slowly pases through the stages of his terminal illness, succumbed to death, and was finally buried in a rocky tomb? Jesus was simply waiting for the perfect moment when He could intercede most effectively.

Is the Lord being quiet with you? Nevertheless, He is attentive and still sees everything. He has His finger on your pulse and is extremely sensitive to even the slightest change. And He will come to save you when the perfect moment has arrived.

Whatever the Lord may ask of us or however slow He may seem to work, we can be absolutely be sure He is never a confused or fearful Savior."

O troubled soul, beneath the rod,
Your Father speaks, be still, be still;
Learn to be silent unto God,
And let Him mold you to His will

O praying soul, be still, be still,
He cannot break His promised Word;
Sink down into His blessed will
And wait in patience on the Lord.

O waiting soul, be still be strong,
And though He tarry, trust and wait;
Doubt not, He will not wait too long,
Fear not, He will not come too late.
