When God is Silent
So I’ve been reading-thinking about prayer and when God is listening. Does he take a break from listening? I don’t think so…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...“casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”1 Peter 5:7 Be Nice. Grace Wins.

The Very Thing
When Paul said give thanks in all circumstances, he meant ALL. Including the crappy ones. Try thanking God today for the very thing that's keeping you from thanking Him.

Find Him in the Ordinary
We get excited about big blessings, but His blessings are everywhere if we'll just look. The little chats. The slight smile. Even the dogs that need us. All of it is praiseworthy.

Like a Father's Arm
Today is short and sweet because God's love is simple. His love endures forever. I felt it yesterday at treatment, like a father's arm around a son. I am humbled with gratitude.
