Enter the Silence

www.bible.com/reading-plans/1201/day/30

Waiting for God, waiting for the hope that He brings is never easy but it is always worth it. I know sometimes I think I am waiting for God when what I am actually doing is trying to push Him to move along and get things done. Or I am working out my own solution in my mind, telling myself it’s just in case God needs some help. (He doesn’t.) Entering the silence means to leave whatever the problem is in His capable and loving hands and then just waiting for the answer. You don’t have to just sit silently and do nothing, but my recommendation is to get on with your day’s activities and each time that situation enters your mind, remind yourself that God is handling it so you don’t have to. His timing is not yours generally, but His timing will always be perfect. So, enter the silence of not trying to cajole God to do things your way or whining that He hasn’t acted on your behalf yet or telling others the problem and asking for their advice. After all, you either gave it to God or you didn’t. So, let it go until you hear the answer from Him.
