LET IT GLOW

Last Sunday in church three girls sat in front of me. They were quiet as a church mouse, not a word came from their mouths. How that happened, I still can't figure it out. However, they were not still. They wiggled, squirmed, braided hair, switched places, got up and went to the restroom. Their quietness did not mean they were not active at the moment. So it is with our heavenly Father. He may be quiet in our lives, but He is actively working.
Have you been experiencing the silence of God in your life lately? Does it seem as though God is doing nothing?
Maybe you are doing His will and there are no instructions needed for you at the moment. Could be that it isn't time yet for His moving. Is it a test of your faith? Those could be possible answers to your question of "Why?"

Yes, I have asked that question. Friend, just remember, God is still in control, working His plan in your life. He hears our prayers and continues to love us with an everlasting love. His timing is always perfect. Continue to pray and cry out to God. That is what the children of Israel did (Ex.2:23-24). Four hundred years passed while they were in bondage, slaves in Egypt. Several generations have passed.
Actually, there were 10 complete generations between Jacob and Joshua, which are listed in   1 Chronicles 7:22-27. (Falwell)
There was a new king, a new Pharaoh in Egypt that didn't know Joseph (a Hebrew second in command).

LET IT GROW

Moses' parents were both of the house of Levi. This was the tribe who was later chosen to be the priests. Amram and Jochebed were both godly parents. Later, from this religious couple came the high priest, Aaron, and the law giver, Moses. Let's not forget their older sister Miriam, who played an important role in saving her baby brother from death. Children are important to the Lord. Are we loving them as His children?
Do we take every opportunity to teach our children and grandchildren about Jesus?

 LET IT GO

Wait on the Lord.

Trust His silence to reveal His working.

Be the parent and grandparent that honors God.
