What Do You Do When God Goes Silent?
So I've been reading and thinking about prayer and when God is listening. Does he take a break from listening? Naw, I think he's always there...
But how do we react when God is silent?
You see, God uses silence to draw out faith. Great faith!
When God is silent, do we listen to voices that question our right to hear from God, do we speak doubt, speak opposition or do we lean into God? It depends on whether we believe God will hear and answer our prayers or not. If we do, we lean in. If we do not, then God's silence exposes our limited level of faith. Note, faith is not defined by the type of answer God gives (sometimes the answer is no), but rather whether we lean in to get an answer from God when He is silent.
How long until your faith is defined not by the answers God gives you, but your willingness to put everything in his hands and truly lean on God and trust in him? Because that's real faith...

Street Cred
Our trials build credibility in our testimony, street cred in Christ. You wouldn't take flying lessons from someone who's never been in the cockpit. Paul wrote about standing firm from a prison cell.

To Live Is Christ
Are you living in Christ, or for the pleasures of the world? If Paul is right, even death is gain. What do we really have to lose?

He Loved First
Watching the sun come up, I can't help but marvel at what God has made. Loving Someone you can't see takes faith. But faith and action don't earn His love, He loved us first.
