Silence

 

Four hundred years of silence occurred between the Old and New Testament.  God did not say a word.  Silence does not mean God is not at work, that He is not listening or that He does not care.  In His wisdom, He chooses not to speak.  Therein lies a lesson for us all.  Sometimes we need to remain silent. I have nothing more to say than that. Meditate on the following scriptures this week, in silence. Listen to God speak.

Job 13:5

⁵ Oh, that you would be silent,
And it would be your wisdom!

Proverbs 10:19

¹⁹ In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.

Proverbs 11:12

¹² He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor,
But a man of understanding holds his peace.

Proverbs 17:28

²⁸ Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace;
When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.
