IS SILENCE GOLDEN?

Does this color look good on me? Do I look pudgy in this outfit? Ok lets be honest guys, when your wife throws you these questions there really is no good answer. You really dont come out of the conversation with any brownie points if you try to answer. Silence is golden at these moments.

Can you imagine if God were like some of us? Can you imagine if God was silent when you had a question that wasn't the most eloquent? What if God never responded when you said things like - Why do I fail so often? I am such a loser aren't I? I could go on and on but when it comes to God at these times of our lives silence is not golden! We need to be reminded what He says about us in His word - You are more than a conqueror! Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world! You are fearfully and wonderfully made! You are a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people...etc.

I trust that you can hear what God is saying about you instead of what the enemy has been telling you. I trust that today you can be encouraged with what His Word has already declared you to be when your situation is looking hopeless and the sky is cloudy.

He promised He would never leave us nor forsake us. He said I am with you always. God is not silent about how He feels about you and I. We just need to listen closely and be encouraged in the fact that He loves us so much.

May God break through in your life today!
