When Heaven Is
Silent!
"He left nothing
outside his control."
Hebrews 2: 8
June DePriest, Bible teacher in Jackson, Mississippi,
faced a protracted burden over her husband’s health.
On one occasion there were frustrating delays as
they awaited word on a heart procedure.
“All I could do, and yet the best thing to
do, was spend time in God’s Presence,”
June wrote.
“What do we do when heaven is silent? Stay in
His Word and cling tightly to the Father. Saturate
your
heart with His promises. Go to Scriptures
that have spoken to you in the past. We are to be
confident that God is working behind the scenes
on our behalf.”
Old Testament heroes of Joseph, Ruth, Moses,
and Elijah found themselves in places they didn’t
understand. So did twelve disciples, Paul, Silas,
and a host more. God puts us in places we don’t
understand, but we can trust His
sovereignty.
Be encouraged! He has
left
nothing outside His control.
"Lingering in God’s presence will through prayer
increase your faith
in Him, provide a place for
you to unload your burdens, remind you that
God is always near, and help you not to panic."
Elizabeth George
