My pray...
"Ah, God, once again I come before You, God, the Lord knows how long I have waited for answers from You, the Lord knows that I have trusted and waited for You, but God, because the Lord continues in silence. Why does not the Lord answer me? I need so many answers and the Lord insists on continuing in silence Why? Why? Why?
You must have already done a prayer like this to God, maybe not exactly the same, but at least one similar. Our tendency, like humans, is to question God. Question your wisdom, your time and your silence.
In the midst of tears, pains, anxieties, anguish, we cry out to God for an answer. But it remains silent.
I know of someone who made that prayer. Someone who could not stand the silence of God anymore. Someone who did not understand the reason for so much suffering, so much pain, so much anguish.
Your name? Work.
"I'M STILL REVOLTED AND I COMPLAIN OF GOD, I CAN NOT STOP GEMIR, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE TO FIND IT, I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE PLACE WHERE IT IS, TO TAKE MY CAUSE TO HIM AND TO PRESENT ALL THE REASONS I HAVE TO MY FAVOR." JOB 23: 1 and 2
Many times, we feel like Job. Revoltados. Tired. Believing that we do not deserve to go through what we are going through. We are "good" too much for such a situation. And we want to bring a list of complaints before God. Would we like to ask you why this situation? Why?
And there come two great lessons. First, the response of Job's friend:
"But I tell you that you are not right, because God is greater than human creatures, why do you accuse God, claiming he does not pay attention to our complaints, God speaks in many ways, but they do not give him attention" Job 33: 12-14.
- God speaks
And how he speaks! He speaks in various ways! God uses His Word to talk with you. In different ways. He uses people around him to talk to you. He uses his pastor, his leaders, He uses songs, his family and if all that is not enough, He will always find a way to speak to his heart. In the case of a blog, a website, a poster inside your church or a sticker with biblical words, and you know, when you read a message in one of them, you may think it's just a coincidence, but for God, the coincidences do not exist, that there are "Jesuscidências"
"IN THE PAST, THROUGH THE PROPHETS, GOD TALKED MANY TIMES TO OUR ANCESTORS MANY TIMES, BUT IN THE LAST TIMES HAVE SPOKEN TO US THROUGH HIS SON, IT WAS HE WHO GOD CHOSEN TO POSSESS ALL THINGS AND IT WAS THROUGH HIM THAT GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE.
HEBREWS 1: 1 AND 2
God always speaks, but often they are that he does not want to hear. We do not pay attention to him, as the verse says. You know why? Because He does not give us the answer we want to hear, and we continue to believe that He does not speak.
God himself speaks in silence. When you believe that God does not hear you; you have already tired of reaching Him and it seems that He is so far away. He is talking.
And in God's silence, He may be talking about two things:
- Wait, wait, trust, rest.
God bless you always!
