Dare to Transform: Never Silent

Far too many times we come to points in our lives where we expect God to lay His mercy and blessings out directly in front of us. I know as a Christian, a man, a human I have sought out the blessings of God and prayed for God to lay out His grace on me where it was evident that His hand was directly at work. Then times come when this unrealistic expectation is not met and we stand with our nose in the air and become mad at God because we were not handed what we wanted on a silver platter. Sometimes, the greatest blessings and healing of our souls comes from the the circumstances when all seems to be lost and the pain can no longer be bared. Some of us fall by the way side and do as Job's wife told him to do and curse God and die. Some of us weather the storm and wait to see a miracle; but, what is the mighty hand of God does not intervene? What if the blessings and the mercy we seek is not laid out in front of us? What if we are left with the pain and the hurt? What if God seems silent? 

We may feel this way but, there is no such thing as God being silent. Even at the darkest point in the history of mankind as God offered Himself to die, He was not silent. In the depths of your sorrow and loneliness, He is there. Sometimes the healing we seek is found in the tears we shed. Sometimes the blessings fall in the rain and His mercy rises with the dawn. If we seek His blessings to better our lives and forget to glorify Him, we fall into the humanistic culture of selfishness and neglect Him. Once we open our eyes to the One who gave us life and seek after the glory of God and take off the coat of the unrighteous, then and only then will we see His hand at work and hear Him screaming in the depths of our soul "I have never left you and never will! I am the One who always has been there for you, is with you and forever be with you! I am everlasting and my mercy is poured out to all mankind and overflows! I have never left you nor will I ever!" Oh Lord how we have been so blind to you and your work in our lives; forgive our hearts and may we seek only to glorify you so that we may see your grace, love and mercy in our lives!
