It’s been awhile that I been in this quiet season, that place where I don’t hear much of my Father’s voice. See, I love to hear His voice, whether its His quiet whisper saying “Evelyn, Im here” and other times I hear his voice saying “I love you, so Trust me!” Oh His voice gives me so much peace and can quiet any loud storm in my life. His voice causes me to have goosebumps and other times, my insides tremble that my Creator, the Creator of the heavens and the earth stops to talk to little ole me. Life changing moments for sure.
Then there is this season. When I pray, read, sit still and I don’t hear a thing. Boy is it uncomfy at times….like “God, I’m talking, do you hear me?” Of course, deep down inside, I know my Father would never ignore me…so what do I do in this quiet place? I continue to pray, sit still, read and trust Him. Trust in every promise He spoke to me weeks, months and years ago. I stand on His Word even if nothing sticks out to me at the very moment. The Word is His voice period. His Word should be enough but I’m reminded I can go back and remember every word I was given, every verse that held me down before and I stand, sit and/or serve. I’m always reminded that what God has for me is far greater than what I can imagine so why worry; what God has for me is for me. If I walk in obedience and I am led by Holy Spirit, I won’t miss what’s for me. Again, my soul is at peace in this quiet place.
However, the enemy tries so hard in those quiet places because he knows that I may want to hear God’s voice so much that I end up listening to his voice instead. Be mindful and very discerning in these seasons of your life that you don’t listen to his comments that try to bring fear, confusion and worry in our lives. My Daddy’s voice doesn’t bring shame, fear, worry, condemnation or anxiety. My confidence in God stands regardless if He is quiet or not. The Word says, “He will never leave me or forsake me”. I stand on that truth.
Can you relate to this season, if so, what helps you get through?
