God\u2019s silences are his answers. Think of those days of absolute silence in the home at Bethany, as Lazarus lay sick and dying, tended by Mary and Martha (John 11). Is there anything similar to those days in your life? Can God trust you as he trusted Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, or are you still asking for a visible answer? If you refuse to go on without certain blessings, God will give them to you. But his silence is the sign that he is bringing you into a marvelous understanding of himself. Are you mourning before God because you have not had an audible response? You will find that God has trusted you in the most intimate way possible\u2014with a silence that is not of despair but of pleasure, because he saw that you could handle a bigger revelation.<\/p>\n<p>If God has given you a silence, praise him. He is bringing you into the great flow of his purpose. Precisely when the answer will manifest itself is a matter of God\u2019s sovereign choice. Time is nothing to God. Perhaps you\u2019ve grown impatient and you think, \u201cI asked God to give me bread, and he gave me a stone.\u201d He did not. Soon you will find he gave you the bread of life.<\/p>\n<p>A wonderful thing about God\u2019s silence is that the contagion of his stillness gets into you and you become perfectly confident: \u201cI know God has heard me.\u201d His silence is the proof that he has. As long as you have the idea that God will bless you in answer to a prayer, he will do it. But he will never give you the grace of silence. When Jesus Christ is bringing you into the understanding that prayer isn\u2019t for blessings but for the glorifying of the Father, he will give you the first sign of his intimacy\u2014silence.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has God trusted you with a silence, one that is full of meaning?
